The bit rot extends to this biological entity because I now remember that I fought these nasties years ago in a different computer in a different universe.

My first inclination, when asked to look at the problem, was that one of the bipolar ROMs had gone south. My friend had an identical SpectraLogic board that had died many years ago, but had the same configuration. We pulled the PROMs and did a compare to ensure that they tracked. One of the two hardware configuration PROMs read, but wouldn't self verify. Nor would it reprogram. Switching the good PROM from the failed board brought the system back up. We ducked this bullet, but getting a few spares in to go with our library of PROM content should help in the future. Again, thanks for the help, CRC
