If I desolder these and read them, do we really
have use for the bits?
Yes, because if the proms eventually die, how will you repair the
boards without images of the proms?
I'd get the images off the second board I have ;-)
If the PROMs have reached the point in age where they are failing, you
are going to find all the PROMs are likely to be failing right around
the same time, so spare boards aren't going to help without a dump of
the PROMs.
