" hello, 
" 
" Sorry my first posting was a bit vague (late night)
" 
" A friend has a sparcstation 10 which has lost its hostID due to a dead NVRAM
" battery, an old FAQ I read say it is possible to find out the hostID from the
" bar code on the chip, does anyone know how to do this.
" 
" The bar code is on a yellow label with the letters YHWC beneath the bars,
" 
" The machine is a SparcStation 10; model 144; service code S10
" and serial numbers 600-3141-02 and 421F0973
" 
" Any help would be greatly appreciated

if you don't need to recover the original hostid, the nvram faq at
sunhelp.org will show you how to program an arbitrary one.
