Sun Ultra 5 NVRAM replacement problem - assortedkingdede - 06-04-2024

I have replaced the dead NVRAM chip in my system with a ST M48T59Y-70PC1D chip. The computer has been printing the message "Data miss compare" to the terminal for the last 20 minutes. I read somewhere that the chip may need a hostid to work but I am unsure about that. I am not sure what the issue is. Thank you.

I don't really know how this is supposed to help me. This is just the documentation for the chip itself. Am I using the wrong chip?

You need to program the new NVRAM.

Perhaps this helps
