[rescue] NVRAM for Blade 100/150

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Chris

Yes, you are correct, SS20 for one, although the NVRAMs are still available
for that system and the earlier ones. I will try it out when I get the final
boards.

The reason for doing it is I have commercial customers who want a straight
forward no hack solution using new parts. The add on coin cell has been a
solution for many years now and I see one or two companies offering it for
these NVRAMs as a commercial solution, but at the end of the day you are still
hacking into the original parts and a lot of commercial customers do not want
that.
