I looked through the zips and there are about 20 spdat.eff files, I've extracted and named/archived them all in the git repo:

https://github.com/dbsanfte/eq-archives/tree/master/spdat

This should be tremendously helpful for dating changes.

Wayback Machine seems to be down for maintenance so I added the patch contents to the eq-archives repo:
