It shouldn't be hard to find an Intel 8755 EPROM version of the 8355
ROM version. Then you just need to find someone to program it if you
can't program it yourself. I can program 8755 parts, but postage to
Australia might not be cheap.
And I did same. So, he's potentially got two versions ;-)
I did fix mine with an 8755. The failure mode of the 8355 was
intermittent. I was able to keep it running by pressing on it and
hitting it with freeze spray. I kept it alive long enough to run a
little dump routine which sent the ROM contents out the serial port
where I captured it.
I then turned this into Intel hex and used that to program a new 8755
which replaced the 8355.

the binary as Intel hex as I had the same device fail on my SDK-85 and went through the
exercise replacing it. I'll report back off list once I dig up the file.
