It took a little longer to get the EPROM burner working than I planned 
but it's done, burned the 1.0f images to 27C256, moved J400 from 1-2 to 
2-3 for the 256 chips. Here's the result using a Sun-2 Prime CPU board 
that was running Rev R before the swap:

Self Test completed successfully.

Sun Workstation, Model Sun-2/120 or Sun-2/170, Sun-2 keyboard
ROM Rev 1.0f, 5MB memory installed
Serial #XXXX, Ethernet address 8:0:20:XX:XX:XX

While there may still be a later (newer) revision, this works great.

Thank you Ryan!
