Interesting with those MIPS workstations.
Does the firmware (PROM) have any interesting commands?
Like 'pr_tod', 'init_tod', 'init' and so on?
found a PROM monitor reference in http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/mips/

It is a DS1287
The issue is finding out what the contents should be, since it isn't
documented in the surviving manuals.
If the MAC address is the only concern, you could fuzz it. Write a pattern
into the chip then if the systems prom monitor or BIOS shows the MAC
locate it. It's probably at the beginning of the chip :-)
