we aren't using EEPROMs, we are using Flash-memories (a small difference).
But anyway:
AM28F020, AM28F010 (2 popular AMD-flashs)
look at the page of uniFLASH i sent everybody. There is uniflash with a list
of supported
flashs and chipsets.

I sent the URL to everybody.
(www.bios.be)
It's used to flash a bios onto the board, if u like INCLUDING the bootblock,
it's free, it's with sourcecode, it's not GPLed, you can do whatever you
like
the only thing the author wants is to credit him.
I can build a nice interface for uniflash and make it the
"openBIOS-flash-tool" :)))
