On my M8101, it's an 82S123, which is a tri-state programmable PROM (the
82S23 is the open-collector version of that chip). Those should be relatively
easy to obtain.
BTW, quick question: if a fusible link PROM 'fails' because one of the
fusible links regrows, is it possible to 're-program' that particular chip,
back to the 'original contents'? Some programmers might barf (because they
want the chip to be 'empty' to start with'), but maybe one of those home-brew
pgrogrammers could 'refresh' the chip (thereby avoiding using up a new chip,
when it's not really needed)?

I'd really like to accumulate a database of the contents of all the PROM
components for all the PDP-11 CPU's. I've got a few of them (for the -11/05),
but there are zillions more.
Anytime anyone creates one, can you please send me a copy, and I'll try and
get them organized and uploaded (and if I _really_ get ambitious, I might try
and start filling in the gaps).
