The Boot Rom chip is an EPROM chip and it is always socketed, usually a 24 pin socket. Simply plug it out of the socket.

What, you think that there is only one Chris Stone in this world??? I have posted numerous times in this echo and take offense at your message. I have no idea who Chris Moore is, but I think you better get your facts correct before making assumptions and vocalizing them in an echo this way. I have questions pending in this echo and I sincerely hope that the other readers of this echo are more mature than yourself and disregard your off the wall statements.

Can I connect 120Mhz and 133Mhz Pentium workstations? Will they work together well or will I get in trouble because of the speed-difference? I always could take a Pentium and build a server out of it, for a number of reasons I rather leave the server as it is. Any comments and/or advice are welcome.
