Hello Bagzzlash,
I downloaded a bios from HIS hd3850 (from the link you give at the first page
HIS.HD3850.512.071122.bin),
saved the signature (Signature HD 3850 - 736-982-900-1100.rbe),
then loaded my bios, loaded the signature of the HIS,
saved the bios,
flashed with atiwinflash.
Very bad, the agp card (hd3850) is not recognized with atiflash or flashrom (option -i).
I boot with a pci card (not pci express).
Any idea how I could tell atiflash to flash the rom towards the AGP bus ?
Please notice that on win xp, atiwinflash does not open,
and that there is 8 instantiations of my agp card under the device manager !!
I also noticed that out of my 2 GB or ram, only 480 MB physical ram are left on win xp.
I think there is a serious error with the agp enumeration slot during the bios post,
and that the gfx card bios is so wrong that it reserves several time big amount of address spaces.
Any idea where I could find this info ?

I probably need to disable the flash at boot time.
