I am trying to track down the ECU for a dell OmniPlex 590, note not "OptiPlex". I found it about 15 years ago but misplaced it, never found it again. It's like the OmniPlex line has been removed from the Internet. I know it's not a typo because I have one. N-E-Way...If anyone has any links, leads …

Weird that it doesn't work with al least one of the bios revisions listed - what are the specs of the chips you did try (any pics). Maybe it's an issue with processor cores (Chomper vs Chomper XT)

If you mean this, there's a small inverted lug on the back of each pin (circled) which sometimes becomes compressed (or breaks off!), meaning the pin can slide out of the plastic. If it's still there, bend it out gently and slide it back into the plastic then pull gently and the lug will engage …

It's not just eBay sales where, like you've done here, you state openly that it's your item(s) but also links to active 'anonymous' listings which seem to promote the listing rather than simply provide information or example.
