As You read BIOS chip is completly normal to have around 2MB of data ! Extension usually is ".bin" even if not visible ! Dont expect to see any clearly readable text coz it will be RAW data !

Depend what result You wish to get... if only BIOS update ! Make backup of original data before do anything with !
