Yes, you can replace it and these "Timekeeper" ICs are still produced by SGS-Thomson and are still available. Replacing is really easy. Take a look at http://www.squirrel.com/sun-nvram-hostid.faq.html and please follow _exactly_ the steps shown in this manual. SS2 ist a "sun4c" or a "4/75" and this box uses a M48T02. AFAIK the speed of the M48T02 is not important as long as the new chip isn't slower than the original one. My SS2 had a 200ns, now I use a 150ns (because it was the cheapest one :-) - no problems ... The only bad thing is that if you get the message "Invalid format type..." you've already lost your original Ethernet-MAC-# , but the manual tells you how to create a new one ...
