That's been my experience thus far...
It looks like Christian Corti's worked out how to do this, but I don't know
if he's made the archives public:

The 5120 ROS is identical to the 5110 as far as I know. I don't know how
applicable the above is to the 5100, I assume it's a bit different (and I
don't have one to try it out on).
It'd be nice to know what chips correspond to what portions of the ROS
tests -- I have two bad Command/Language ROS boards from the two 5120s I
have and they fail diagnostics in different places. I'm sure I could make
one working board from the two if I knew which chips were bad on each one.
It'd also be fun to find some software for this, but I haven't tracked any
down.

not one but two bad ROS boards
Apparently, failing ROS boards are quite common in the 51xx series.
It would be a good thing to get the contents of working ones archived.
