Ron. What flash parts are supported by your hotswap trick?

Perhaps the question I should have asked is what chip Mfg and types
are supported by your flashing program. Not just the hotswap. All
the flashes have different

Your programmer will fit in a drawer? You must have a newer one. *grin*

Cool pretty simple. I don't even have to remove the chip since I

yes.
In this case I _am_ the factory BIOS. *grin*
good!
I've not a clue how to use the mtd stuff. I briefly looked at it but
found no good

a lot of the winbond's are all very similar. If you find a w839xy in the
source tree, you can try using that and it might work. The only thing we
The V1 code should work for you fine. All you need to
do is find out what superIO you have and change the
serial port setup accordingly so you can get debug
messages.

http://www.digikey.com is your friend.
Well really almost any JDEC part 2MBits and larger will work. If you
use a larger part you might have to ground the unused address lines if
they left them floating on the pcb.
Thanks for the links. No luck with any of the links given, however.

I did find out the extra zero in my search, thank you. Now I got a few
hits at digikey. No, I don't have a FLASH programmer, but i can purchase
one if needed, and the price is not to high. According what you write it

Hello,
I have been communicating with the Linuxbios mailing list on and off
(mostly off lately). I'm interested to try out the linuxBIOS on my old
dual CPU board MSI-6120. The current MSI/AMI BIOS V2.0 does not support
newer CPUs than Coppermine.
Currently I have two old PII processors
