On the series III, the auction states: "The interior compartments are
full of empty card cages."  And one of the photos has the flash going
a bit farther into the card cages than I would expect if they were
populated.  I'm thinking that means the control store PROMs are not
there.  Harder to tell about the 30, but likewise I'm on the wrong
side of the continent.
