It was the plan at one point, but i didn't go through with it because ultimately someones going to grenade their motor or worse someone elses, through their own mistakes and i'll get saddled with it, people told me that sort of thing wouldn't happen, then it did, so now i only deal with companies that have insurance etc and i haven't had any problems since then. Which is a shame because i spent a lot of time making a reflashable end user ecu that could recover itself, and yes i've been through all the 'what if's'.

563, unfortunately as i said its a PowerPC and it has a much more limited write lifetime, and its difficult to replace the chip if it does go bad, I've yet to hear of anyone reaching the 1000 cycle limit and it failing since its a common enough chip in other cars but they had to move all the long term fuel trims etc to the smaller longer life memory internally.
