my plan is to eventually replace this by an EEPROM temporarily for testing/educational reasons.However I don't have any idea about the pinout of this EPROM and whether compatible EEPROMs can be found.
I've got a feeling that 27 parts are all One-Time Programmable or UV EPROM, and the 28 series are EEPROMS. But the pinouts are only nearly the same...
There's a bit on this page https://theansweris27.com/bmw-e30-318i-engine … t-optimization/ about what they had to do to convert from a 27 EPROM to 28 EEPROM.
