The version was 5.3a If anyone can read out different proms i would happy to put them somewhere on the net. I guess the Dec/Compaq whoever guys who might own the copyright dont bother after at least 10-15 years. There are proms who are not able to boot from the net which could be solved just by burning a new eprom.
