[Suns-at-Home] EEPROM for SS2!

[Lewis, Benjamin (Ben)]

>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!)

Hello David

Sorry this is a bit late. I've ordered replacement watchdog timer chips
for my SGI Indy from Maxim-IC.

I think they have the part you want :-

(you'd better check this is the right part number).=20

For my Indy I had to get the updated version of the Dallas Semiconductor
watchdog chip as the older version is no longer made. The new one is pin
compatible with the old one.

The best thing is that they will post you two free samples of any chip
you choose and even the postage is free! Of course you have to give a
valid reason in the request but I'm sure you can come up with something
that's sounds legit. Unfortunately you'll be on their mailing list
forever more but their free product guides that appear in my inbox now
and again are quite interesting.

Best regards

Ben
