Hi,

I have a Sun2 CPU board that I cannot test. Itbs a 501-1007. The EPROMs have
been replaced somewhere along the way, the stickers on them are handwritten.
They say b520-1101-03b. I have read the content of them. When using
bstringsb on the combined content, I see bRev Rb in there. And "Love
your country, but never trust its government.b which got me to read

e-love-your-country-but-never-trust-its-government/

Could this be the sought after Rev R?

I also have a Sun b1.5b CPU board, part number 501-0600. While I was at
it, Ibve also read out the EPROMs in here. This system was rebadged by
German manufacturer KONTRON, which clearly shows in the ROM content.
