Alex: Sounds like you guys are getting into the territory of needing your 
own prom burner. A cheap willem programmer, mine cost 51$ inc shipping and 
took a bit over four weeks to arrive by mule train from Bulgaria to 
Australia is going to do the business. They're fiddly till you get used to 
them but they do allow for burning a lot of different ROM's and also for 
ripping them.

That's normal. Sun liked to have a lot of machines with project names. 
Calvin, Hobbs, a kodiak bear, same with a top-hat, Sharks, stingray, .. 
does anyone remember what the "SunRise" project symbols were ?
There was T-Shirts for them all. Also, if you check the sun hardware ref, 
part1. It'll list the machines. Afair the "Hobbs" was the IPX and Calvin 
was on the SS2.
