Nothing in the EEPro100 is simple.  You need full docs from Intel to
even have a chance at working with it, and for some reason, Intel
still(!!!) requires a Non-Disclosure Agreement to get those docs.
Sorry.

The next best thing to the real docs might be had by reading the
official Intel driver for the EEpro100.  But believe me, you don't
want to do that unless you've got a Really Good Reason.
