I'm not aware of any official IBM release to support Y2K ARC.  They
officially stopped supporting the TP:PPC well before 2000.

As for just changing some hex data, that won't work as parsing/
displaying dates is a very complex issue requiring a proper
(non-trivial) date parsing library.

However, isn't everything OK once you get in the OS?  ie: you can run
NTP to fix the date.  I guess the boot logs will still appear to be from
1903, but that shouldn't really hurt anything.

Good luck!
