Instead of ROM images, how about the ROM's themselves.

I have one uVAX2000 that I tore down to remove the disk to send to a
fellow list member. Looking at the ROM's on it:

DEC87 LM8737 on all of them

the unique numbers on each ROM are: 033E7 034E7 035E7 036E7

I never test fired this one, so no info other than above.

I also have five VAXstation 2000's. They have all been test fired
and at the time they spewed:

KN410-B V2.3

You want I should loan you a set of ROM's and throw them in the box
with the DS200/MC manual when you get around to sending me a Priority
Mail stamp. How's that for a subtle reminder?

I might also remind you that you recently dug a VS2000 out of the barn
and gave it to a friend. Are you refurbishing his also, or might you have
just given away the very thing you seek? This may be another indication
of what Sellam so aptly named "Mental DECay". ;-)
