Steve,

I'm imagining an IPC in continued loyal service, reviving NVRAMs for SS2s.  :^)

If no one else advises against it, I will try this since I have an SS2 in the 
rehab queue also, besides several IPCs.  The first new NVRAM went into an IPC, 
and after I have the IPC booting properly I will transplant the chip into the 
SS2.
