[rescue] ROM image archives (was: SPARCEngine 1E boot ROM)

[Malte Dehling]

Hi Alan,

I have a few prom images I read from machines I have that are not in the
sunshack collection at least.  If you let me know where you end up putting
your’s, maybe I can add what I have?

For older machines (sun-3 at least) the idprom could also be interesting,
at least for oem machines it can contain fun stuff like a custom logo :-)

Cheers,
Malte
