Which can recognise and flash a SST ROM chip with an AWARD BIOS. Full ID for the ROM chip is 49LF080A - its a 8MB chip. I want to have a backup BIOS chip for when I start doing godknowswhat to my mobo BIOS. Does anyone have an untouched AWARD flash untility (by untouched I mean a manufacturer hasnt "customised" it) that will recognise this chip? Its been a royal pain in the arse.
 
would winflash work?
 
I dont think so, cant remember if I tried it already. Worth a shot tho.
 
Nope doesnt work, if its through windows the flash is done i need software thats capable of forcing a flash.
 
dont know if this is of any use, i used it to flash a different bios using award flash, make it a .bat file an it flashes without having to press a key, not a good idea to leave this disk lying around
AWDFLASH.EXE xxxxxx.BIN /CC /CD /CP /F /R /PY /SN

That would work, but awardflash doesnt recognise my spare rom chip, hence where the pain in the arse kicks in, uniflash doesnt work either.
