Cool! Now its a firmware blob. I suppose the next thing would be to convert 
it into Intel Hex Format so any prom programmer in the world would under 
stand it.

I put a copy on my web site, there is a link to it on 
<http://www.mcmanis.com/chuck/computers/vaxen/boards.html> see the firmware 
images section.

This was quite fun, the strings output in particular indicates that the new 
version prints out the clock speed of the machine.

That would be ideal of course, I have to figure out how to reliably flash 
it first. If I can rework the system with a socket that would work as my 
EMP-20 will write the flash chip.
