[Sunhelp] THIS SUCKS!!!

[Alan Rubin]

well, you didn't want to do this, but i will mention it anyways. you can
take out the prom chip, put it in backwards and turn on the power for 1
second, and turn it off.  this will clear out the chip.  you can then put
the chip back correctly, and the default settings should be restored.
