- What's the deal on prom password protection for other machines besides
- the Indigo, especially the older ones like the 4D-240? When we got
- the CPU boards swapped recently, I assumed we'd have this ability, but
- it doesn't seem to be there. Is there just no room in the older proms
- for this? Is it available as a special option? I've been trying to
- find out from various people locally, but no one seems to know.

- Thanks
