[SunRescue] 4/6xx Openboot PROM

[j. grubman]

The most recent Sun 4/6xx Sun PROMs available are labled as 525-1210-6. I'm
not sure what version these appear as in OBP. The most recent 4/6xx Ross PROM 
modules I've seen are v 2.14.5R. These will work with all RT625 and RT626 
HyperSPARC modules.

I can probably track down some recent PROMs for you if you have a hard time 
finding them. I have a feeling that you will.
