I got my #VT100 working again!
My replacement EEPROM for the original four 8316Es works, and my board requires no changes to the mainboard (no W2/W3).
Super happy!

I found this reply that I made in 1984 to Dennis Ritchie in the net.followup newsgroup. I was at the time lobbying Sun to add 8-bit character set support to the firmware, but they wanted to hold out for a 16-bit system, like the as yet unnamed Unicode. There was eventually an interim solution but my memory of that is a bit foggy.
