Which brings up an interesting and maybe related point. Sun does not
sell proms with new rom versions for ss 10's or 20's (or, anything
earlier). A couple of companies (memoryx, for one) do sell them, but
not, as far as I can determine, with any authorization from Sun. Does
anyone care about the IP implications?
