[geeks] NVRAMs for Suns

[Lionel Peterson]

Personally, I'd pay $20 before taking to my soldering iron, but I recognize
that there are other ways to 'revive' an older Sun box...

That $20 threshold makes many of my machines not worth fixing for me, but
someone else may be willing to invest the time and/or money to revive them for
their own needs. I encourage them to do so, but I'm not willing to make that
investment unless I knew it kept them out of the scrap heap...
