Turns out I didn't have the right driver, I think I downloaded one of the
alternative versions listed on the eepro100 support page...when I tried
again with the version written by Mr. Becker it worked perfectly.  Thanks!

What driver version are you using?
Perhaps it's an older driver version that doesn't understand the current
large EEPROMs.
