Nope.

Nope. the 50/25 board is for a 1000E. You can sort of use it, but only for
memory and sbus expansion, you can't have CPUs on it.

Nope again. Why would you want to, 2.31 is higher than 2.25r which are for
SS10's and SS20's NOT SS1000s.

Why would you want to copy your proms? if/when you get additional boards they
will probably have boot roms on them.
