Sure? Does anyone have sort of a "table" showing which typical motherboard
has which EEPROMs and its size?

I always thought of having only 128 kB of EEPROM memory. Well, if this
would be 256 kB or even 512 kB (and, as you said, think of compression),
then there would be no real need to have any code on the hard disk, I
mean, to complete the BIOS code.

Well, this size ... could contain a miniature Linux kernel plus some
applications to boot that system... oh, just a thought.
