Limitations of Pocket Programmer 2
What all can this pocket programmer do? Could it be capable of tweaking 2004 chips? Basically just to remove rev limiter and such.
If so, what all would be needed to do it?

The PP2 needs the chips to be put directly in/on it to program them.
Most PROM's since about 1993 are solidered directly to the PCM's main board and would require being unsolidered and a socket put in their place so that you could use the PP2.
The PP2 can program just about any chip made though.

I have one and love it. It works very good, never had a chip failure. I used it on may chips, including the Flash chips used in the PCM on my '95. I unsoldered them and installed sockets - thanks to a failed flash attempt using my laptop.
