Hello everyone,

Some time ago, I tried to install Irix 6.5.30 on an Octane (old revision).
When the installation was finished, I restarted the machine, just before reading the warnings of the install, one being, that the PROM flashing failed.
After the machine restarted,  it looks like it's totally bricked (the front light bar doesn't light up, there is no chime or video output).

I've read that there is a socket on the mainboard for inserting a debug Prom chip, though I don't know where I could get such a chip or the rom image itself.
Otherwise, I could start the Octane from the external PROM and, after it booted, switch to the internal PROM using an external switch wired up to the jumper and reflash it.

I've also got a second Octane, which also doesn't start, but has a working PROM (the lightbar works, at least).

If someone could help me getting this computer running again, I'd really appreciate it.

regards,
