Oh, if it were only that simple. The T60p has the 82573L c.f. the Intel docs...

See section 2.3... "The 82573E/82573V/82573L supports both FLASH memory and EEPROM; however, only one device can be connected at a time (not both).

So while the 8257x's for the most part SEEPROMs, the -E,V,L suffixed part could go either way - oh joy!
