No, Doug...the microcode ROMs being fried should blow the PR1ME's
mind, not yours. ;)

What kind of ROMs does it use? Another possibility might be to find
someone with the same model of PR1ME (how rare are they?) and checksum
the ROMs & compare them...most PROM burners will generate checksums,
but now that I think of it, PROM burner manufacturers have yet to
standardize on a checksumming algorithm so it'd probably be useless
unless they're summed with the same make/model of burner. :-(
