Hi
I think I can read it with my programmer. At least with an adapter to make
it think it is a 2716.
I tried the "eeprom" and it didn't work :(
This must be before someon realized it was a good idea. Acording
to the history page I saw, the SparcBook was relatively early in
the history of things.

My problem is that I don't know if I can
restore the information in it.
The early Sparcbooks didn't have openboot.
Under SunOS, you can use the program called "eeprom" to dump out most
of the important contents. As far as restoring it, I'm not sure about
that, as I don't know what ROM-based code the very early SPARCbooks use.
One way to do it might be to read it out using an EPROM programmer.
My Data I/O supports the MK48T02, for example.
