Any pointers where I can find the specification, I really need to get this
thing to work. Something interesting that I found so far. First of all
I found a utility to program flash ROM on Eepro100 from DOS. And I was 
just about to invest into a flash programmer!
Utility is awailable on intel WEB site
     http://support.intel.com/support/landesk/conigmgr
It comes with intel boot ROM image as well. I had a look at it with
hexdump and debug.exe -- there is lot's of additional header info. 


Regards,

Alex
