Question about ECM compatibility

Background: Truck running rough, pulled codes, got 512-Keep alive memory failed, 12 volts present at pin #1. Nobody seems to have a reman computer in their warehouses. Calibration code 4-64H-ROO, F4TF-TA computer.

My question is what would be a suitable substitute, if any, and what problems I may encounter using a different one until I can get this one sent in to get redone?

Maybe is someone has one laying around PM for to work a deal?

94/F250/5.8/E4OD/3.55

Check the junkyards, pull the cover off and look for leaking capacitors or burnt leads, if there are none throw it in and rock on. I just bought one a few months ago for $50 bucks.
