The WD8013EB cards that I have here, can be configured for 16kB, 32kB
and 64kB. This means, they can directly support 27c128, 27c256, and
27c512 chips. Typically, your best bet is probably getting 27c256
chips. Etherboot does not really need more than 32kB (frequently, it
does not even need more than 16kB); besides, 27c256 are the most
easily found chips.
