It's not the eprom, it's the battery+sram chip (tall chip with barcode, you can't miss it). Anyway, Sun wants way too much money to replace them (unless you have service), you can get an eqivalent chip from any decent electronics supplier. Check out the Sun NVRAM faq at http://www.squirrel.com/squirrel/sun-nvram-hostid.faq for details.
