Hi,

This is what I'm getting:

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005001614869060.html (adapter)
https://aliexpress.com/item/32725360255.html (burner + clamp,dirty cheap, I
wanted the clamp, couldn't resist it)
https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005002412971490.html (puller)

About the chip: It seems to me that it could be this (please see
attachment) However i looked for it on the web and it seems to be a 4 MB
chip, while flashrom-listed one would be 512 KB? I hope it will be right...

If I'm getting it right, FreeDOS 1.3RC4 includes flashrom? It would be nice
to put anything BIOS-related on a salvaged laptop disk. Perhaps with a DOS
boot partition. Hell, last time I flashed a BIOS was almost a decade ago,
and I really never played with DOS much more than just doing a win98 boot
floppy. But, it could be interesting to do and to have a little hard disk
ready for flashing any BIOS I could play wildly with at least 2-3 machines.

Does FreeDOS flashrom work fine? Or  are there any known bugs?

Best wishes
