Interesting, what does the banner say when it boots? Mine says 1.5-38E-V4.2
on the "most recent" one, the other says 1.3-xxx-Vxxxx.

In response to Allison, these EPROMs are exactly under the video card so a
daughter board is out of the question but one could put ribbon cables to
some place else in the box.

Of course if I was going to butcher it in that way I'd go ahead and put RAM
there and a small processor to "download" the firmware, then I would have a
VAXeln like systems :-)
