You are incorrect on the size.? The Intel HEX format provided at KO4BB is two bytes of ASCII to be converted to one byte of binary, plus the Intel format includes some overhead for each record

Re: 8594E Cal Signal not Found ?
The files in the folder referenced are 636KB each as hex. As binary, that should be around 512KBytes each, or 4 megabits.
I guess you could do the math on whether your two chips hold 8 megabits
