The problem is that Rockwell doesn't *offer* a class 2 + 56K chipset those
days anymore (or at least that's the way it looks like).

They claim something like "there isn't enough EPROM space, so we dropped
class 2, nobody uses it anyway". And boom, there it goes.

At least one vendor (ELSA) has added their own EPROM to the Rockwell
stuff, and they *do* support class 2/2.0.  But most if the "it must be
cheap" pack don't.
