The System Reports a SST 49LF004A , while it is really a SST

Ok. If there is physical room for another chip inside the machine you
can just connect all important signals across (maybe 10 or so), build
a simple transistor switching circuit for the chip select line and
finally run only three wires out of the machine. They can be as long
as you like.

I think there is room at a side of the plcc socket i put. How long could those wires be ?
The ones for the switch can be loooong, i know.

Flashrom was unable to write on it. So my tests were done using my
external programmer. ( the netbook saved the day :) )

So how would you reprogram the flash chip inside the machine? Running
wires from the flash chip out of the machine will probably not work.

Uniflash, Asus EZFlash (using a "forced" checksum), etc...
Or try to fix the flashrom for my board :)
