: Hmmm... don't have a Dallas databook handy but my understanding was that
: this (or at least *one* of their products like this!) fit piggyback
: (actually, piggybelly) onto an existing ROM...

They also make plug compatible replaces that usually have a cool new
feature or two added in.  I have one in a MIPS PC motherboard, for
example, that also stores the EISA bus configuration information.
