|   Does this work on 4D/20, /25, and /35's?  If not, what is the

The 20 and 25 do not support the PROM password.  At least some revs
of the 30 and 35 do, I don't remember if it was in the first PROM
rev, or just the newer prom that supports the Elan graphics.

See 'man prom' on 405 or later for more info.
