After work today I hung a DG Walkabout terminal off serial A of the SUN
box. Self test reports that the EEPROM has failed. I will pull the board
and hunt for the chip later this evening but what does this mean for me?
Does it mean I simply replace the chip or is there info on the chip now
that is not reconstructable? Answers a lot of questions.

Incidentally, the chip almost invariably passes diags and allows a boot if
you VERY quickly cycle power to the machine. I don't know why it is but
it works even if it is a horrible thing to do to a computer.
