That link is a mirror to an older version of the document (1998 versus
2004), but indeed it certainly feels nicer than relying upon the Wayback
Machine. Besides, I *wanted* to use something better than archive.org in
the first place, but couldn't find anything. I think I will change it to
the obsolyte.com link, thanks for the pointer.

Maybe it makes sense to write an article in our own wiki instead? From
what I gather, reprogramming these NVRAM/clock chips is a *very* common
task. (In fact, I'm going to do it myself with the Sun Blade 100 that
I'm getting tomorrow!)
