Just hope they didn't route the Flash write through the 87570. The micro has 2KB or ROM so you can't change that if it's been burned in. Does that mean something like if I rewrite the Flash, a Part of the old Bios is still in the ROM of the 87570. The modified code in flash will never be

Second thing I have got the BIOS writer guide for STPC So If I think I changes the replaces the code of STPC_ELITE for that of STPC_ATLAS then I can make it for STPC_ATLAS If you are going to have to do a lot of re-write work I encourage you to start over with V2. V1 is a dead end

The PC87570 has some code in ROM and it also shares the Flash BIOS memory with the PC host. Page 49 of the http://www.national.com/ds/PC/PC87570.pdf datasheet has the info on this. If you rewrite the entire Flash you may erase the portion (up to 56K for code and data) of the BIOS for the
