I believe they are free.  call wyse at 800-get-wyse.  My understanding
is that the 60 was intended to emulate ansi originally but does only
with the "new" proms.  I believe they fix other bugs as well but I
have no detail.  I have not even looked at them or the doc.

We have since received our proms(from wyse).  The chips are socketed
but someone else in our office decided that they were difficult enough
to reach to merit asking our supplier (in town) to do the
installation.  Since our first sun arrived several days earlier, I'm
no longer as interested in seeing this happen so *I* didn't do it.
