That is the 32K version. I was under the impression that 8K weren't so easily obtainable, hence my question.
I honestly don't know why you cannot program your Dallas chip, the information from linux-mips.org should be valid...

You missed my answer. I just had to restart the machine and it took the update?!?!
I don't know why but it'll do!  :-)

Right this might explain it. http://cspry.co.uk/computing/Indy_admin/...html#NVRAM


Excerpt
Where GG:HH:II:JJ:KK:LL is the ethernet address shown on the label on the back of the Indy.
To restart the system, either power down, wait one full minute then power up.

So it might be that the system goes through a NVM write sequence to ensure the NVM RAM isn't written too many times. Or not :-)
