- | Does this work on 4D/20, /25, and /35's? If not, what is the
- | equivalent sequence for them?
-
- The 20 and 25 do not support the PROM password. At least some revs
- of the 30 and 35 do, I don't remember if it was in the first PROM
- rev, or just the newer prom that supports the Elan graphics.
-
- See 'man prom' on 405 or later for more info.
