Unfortunately the computer failed to give any monitor signal when I did that, and I haven't had a chance to hook it up via serial to see what's working and what isn't. I wonder if that could be another failure mode of those chips, or if it just means the workstation's not quite working (I was told that it had just been booted recently using its original IDPROM, but defaults had to be set at boot; I also haven't gotten a chance to try the original IDPROM in it to see what would happen.) -- Eric Christopherson
