Unfortunately, this doesn't fix eeprom(8S) on non-4c architectures.
I have a 4/470 whose eeprom(8S)
* claims the checksum is wrong
* will print the eeprom contents when given "-i"
* fails to do anything when given "-c", with or without "-i".
* will not allow changing eeprom contents, with or without
"-c" and/or "-i"
Any ideas on this one?
