Beware that eeprom files are binary files, so "diff" might not be the
more suitable tool for the job. "cmp" would probably do better.
Nevertheless, I think I remember that diff can at least differenciate
between identical and different binary files, so your test must still be
valid.

Yes, it does. Antonino A. Daplas reported success on his VT8235 in
private as well, so I am now confident that this chip is OK. The
question remains for VT82C686A and B though.

Thanks for your help!
