Hi Chuck,
The firmware is probably stored in EPROMs, and not flash. You need to find
a blank replacement EPROM of the same type (size/speed/pinout) and copy
the good one to the new one.
Is there a manufacture's part number on the V1.5 ROM? I might be able
to cross reference it to a current replacement.

Hello All,
I've got two VLCs, I'm running them both headless. They are connected to S1
and S2 of a VT340 terminal. One of them "loses" the terminal sometimes. If
try typing nothing is echoed although I can still send stuff to the serial
port from a process and it displays. Sometimes I can "fix" it by breaking
to the chevron and then typing 'c' (continue). This happens on both VMS and
NetBSD so I don't think it is a driver problem.
The other VLC doesn't have any issues like this at all.
The VLC that has no issues has Firmware 1.5, the one that has issues has
Firmware 1.3. I'm wondering if there is a way to flash the firmware? I've
got an EPROM programmer but I don't know if there are is anything else I
need to do.
