  PC that's got my ROM burner/reader, and read each
one (if the
 ROMs aren't too large a size for my Needham unit). I'm assuming
 I'll see all 00s or all FFs (or maybe something like FEs) if
 they're blown; been a long time since I've looked at popped
 ROMs... 
  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. :-(
