I see now in the archive that the error: "EEPROM not found" came up on a
thread last year. The thread ended in "find out what chip it is". As far
as I know I can't see the BIOS chip on this portable. Oh well.

Then also something about using MTD. I guess I'll try that and see what
MTD reports.

I take it there aren't good programming manuals/data sheets for the
M-Systems line of chips? I found one crappy document via google. That
would be a shame; AMD and Intel seem real good about documenting their
flash ships.
