Hello everyone,
just wanted to report successful read from 8mbit (1mb) MACRONIX MX 
25L800(5PC-15G) chip and write to 64mbit (8mb) WINBOND 25Q64F(VAIQ) chip.
I've used some old ASUS motherboard dating from May 2009 (could check exact 
model if needed) asbase for flashing. Booted it into prepared FreeDOS usb stick 
with flashrom, made backup of MACRONIX chip, hot swapped it with WINBOND chip 
and flashed it with new image. Everything worked like a charm and thanks so 
much to all people which created this great tool!

Additionaly, if this will be of any help to somebody, new image / WINBOND chip 
was for AsRock Extreme 4+ FM2A88M motherboard, downloaded at 
http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A88M%20Extreme4+/?cat=Download&os=BIOS.Version 
was 2.80 for "Instant Flash" and encapsulation in BIOS image file found inside 
ZIP archive (size 8mb+4kb) was trimmed to exactly 8mb using another great tool:

Greetings,Marin.
