Ah, yeah, that message looks like bad PROM chips to me.  Let Rich know
which filer it is and he and Abdallah can run some tests on it to be
sure.

Nobody should ever have to build the PROM.  Although it is much easier
than it used to be!

Out of curiosity, what was wrong with the PROM that was there?  What
was the reason to upgrade it?

Cheers,
