I ordered a couple XT-CF-Lite boards as described in

Sergey specified the wrong size EEPROM or provided the wrong BIOS
image. The specified EEPROM holds 8192 bytes while the BIOS image is
32,768 bytes. I sent an email to Sergey, but I thought I'd ask here too.
I downloaded it to look: only the first 8K is used. The rest is all 0xFF, ie blank.
Yes, identical experience here: I was also confused by the oversized image, until I looked
at it, tried it using only the first 8k, and found that it worked. I had some initial
trouble with a batch of CF cards that ended up being incompatible for some reason, but now
I can boot my IBM 5155 from the card.
