Anyone looking for PROM updates for older SPARC hardware?

[Dan Oglesby <danno%serverunderground.com@localhost>]

A while back I bought an EEPROM programmer with the intention of upgrading my 
SPARCStation 2 to a more recent version of PROM.  This was brought about due to 
trouble booting from the floppies and CD-ROM for the NetBSD project.  It was 
guessed that some of the older versions of PROM had trouble booting the newer 
releases of NetBSD.

Anyways, I finally have a Windows XP machine again, and got the hardware and 
software running for my programmer.  I was able to update my SS2 system to the 
2.9 version of PROM, and it boots successfully from the NetBSD 5.1 release 
CD-ROM.  

I know there was at least one other person on this list interested in getting 
an updated PROM for their SS2.  If anyone out there would like a spare PROM 
with version 2.9 loaded for their SS2 or IPC, let me know.  I have nine 
AM27C020 chips that are blanked and ready to be programmed.

If there is any interest in PROM chips for other SPARC systems, let me know.  I 
have working SS20 and SS5 systems that I can pull ROM images from if they can 
help others.
