Well if 040 is 4MB and 080 is 8MB, I would hope there is a 160 at 16MB 
and so on; or do engineers use a secret numbering system :-)

I used to do boot CDs pretending to be 2.8Mb floppies, and would be 
happy with a 4Mb chip to get a Linux kernel into.

Yes, I will duplicate the factory BIOS, got about 6 chips.  The BIOS 
does not have an option to write to a floppy; but flashrom works fine

Thanks I will, setting up a clean Linux development system right now, I 
like Linux from Scratch.  How I hate distros that load in an hour; but 
it takes a week to find the header files.

Just for completeness I add the lspci -v.  Once I have a stable system, 
and have duplicated the factory BIOS, I can start properly.
