A few years ago I was given a copy of a spreadsheet program for P/OS.  The
install and run of the program was dependent on a PROM-ID number.  Some
diligent hacker had removed the code which looks for the PROM-ID allowing
the program to run on any machine.  That is another possibility for anyone
with time on their hands.  

Actually, I almost got my nerve up to call VenturComm and ask for the 
algorithm.  I still might.
