Just to follow up (the list was weird all weekend), we got the ELC
booting and running as a spiffy 1-bpp X terminal. Kind of fun to see
the little penguin logo in black and white as the machine boots up. Very speedy at 33 Mhz with 24 MB ram. Takes about 3 minutes to check
the ram.
The NVRAM chip is still bad, but we just reprogram it every time we
boot. For the record (and if anyone else happens to have an ELC), the
command sequence is:
n
set-defaults
setenv diag-switch? false
f idprom@ 1 xor f mkp
8 0 20 e3 e4 e5 123456 mkpl
boot net
Fun, eh? It's interesting how you can change the mac address so simply
from the prom prompt. Anyway, fun weekend project. Not terribly
useful, but that fun.

Michael Torrie and I are playing with a SparcStation ELC (Sun terminal). We're
having problems doing a net boot, and we are pretty sure that the problem
is a bad nvram chip. We tried taking one out of a Sparc 5 but it was the
wrong size. Does anyone else have one we could borrow/have/steal?
(or if you could give us any advice on getting it working with a bad nvram chip)
