    What kind of ROMs does it use?  Another possibility
might be to find
 someone with the same model of PR1ME (how rare are they?) and checksum
 the ROMs & compare them...most PROM burners will generate checksums,
 but now that I think of it, PROM burner manufacturers have yet to
 standardize on a checksumming algorithm so it'd probably be useless
 unless they're summed with the same make/model of burner. :-( 
Actually, I think that's a good suggestion, if you can find someone with
the same ROMs.  In my experience, most programmers actually do use the same
algorithm -- one of the common CRCs.  At least, all three programmers I
regularly use do, and the checksums match the ones printed on SGI ROMs and
a few other ROMs I have that have printed checksums.
