Been a few years since I bought some, but they are just standard memory chips you should be able to get from any electronics supply house.

Mouser, Digikey, Allied, etc.

Interesting, I did not think you could just purchase the chips and upload the program fresh. I thought for some reason someone had to do the initial upload. I guess I thought you had to have a different method of uploading the initial flash.

Thanks for the reply! If anyone has gotten some recently please list your source.

On my 93 you need to change the chip or burn a new program into the old chip by removing it from the ECM. I THOUGHT? that the 94 and up can be flashed while in the PCM through the ALDL? No need to change the chip.

If you want one that's already programmed, then I recommend madz28.com
