So are you saying you weren't able to get far enough to use the eeprom 
command?

I've had great success with the NVRAM piggybacked on the modified socket 
idea. 
Much better than the Hot-swapping Idea I used to use.

Someone has the deja link for this. I can dig it up eventually if someone 
else doesn't have it.

I suggest this method because it has worked great for me. And I'm not the 
sharpest knife in the drawer either. Just practice good chip extraction 
methods, like using a proper tool. And, make sure it goes back in the 
same direction it came out. I have learned these things that hard way, 
but have yet to hose a box.
