Depends on how old it is as to whether or not its worth it. Pretty sure they dont support the earliest ones now.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

yeh its v5 or earlier, if it has a 4 pin plug on the other end. its likely to be a v5 (from memory late v4's had the plug wasn't used . could be wrong here). if no plug it'l be a v4 or earlier. if its laptop tunable as he says it wont be a v3 or earlier as they are hand controller only

dont forget you may need a daughter board swap depending what engine its being used on. if link have any left..

well someone else beat me to it so that's one less worry, was warred about the board thing.

for future reference is there some guidelines to follow wen buying an old ecu?

its going to be used on a 2tgeu(+t with over sized injectors)
im a noob wen it cums to aftermarket ecu's

cheres for the help

"here we have a older style link computer was fitted to a mazda gtx but can be reprogramed to suit any car, cums with a complete gtx wireing loom as well"

Any ECU that cums is probably not really something you want in your car :lol:
