:I'm trying to decide if it's worth hunting down an EEPROM for my SS2.  
:Does anybody know a good source for these? (other than buying one from 
:Sun....I'm not that rich!)

www.mouser.com

cost shipped probably about the cost of shipping an ss2.

i replaced the nvram on the ss1+ which i am trying to unload. some years 
ago. there is an faq on replacing it and getting it started.

if mouser can no longer  get it to you. the ss1+ with weitek chip could be a
source of parts, for the cost of shipping. or you could move your stuff to
the ss1+. the weitek chip makes for a snappier performer than the stock
ss2, and the machine reports itself as an ss2.

don't plan to move the weitek chip to an ss2. it takes a special tool to seat
it properly, and those were always scarcer than hen's teeth.
