What size chips do you have?  Mail me the image and I'll burn it into
a spare chip (if I have one that size) and we can just do a swap.

Hang on, you're talking about a PC.  So you're making ethernet boot
roms?  You'll be using 8k or 16k DIP EPROMs then.  Too easy.

What software (etherboot?)?  What kind of card?  I've made etherboot
roms before, so I may even have a programmed one sitting on the shelf.

Come to think, if any other humbuggers want etherboot ROMs done, I
could do a batch (provided your card is supported by etherboot).
