Is that these two:

  -rw-r--r--  1 simonb  simonb   77836 Nov 14  1991 image.hex19.2K
  -rw-r--r--  1 simonb  simonb   77836 Nov 14  1991 image.hex9600

or is it different again?  What date version does it show when the PROM
starts?

One thing I'm worried about is actually burning a new EPROM.  I haven't
seen a burner in I don't know how many years.  That's why I figured it
might be easier making it a software problem.  Maybe finding a burner
would actually be easier...

Cheers,
Simon.
