BIOS chips are standard flash parts - a commercial flash programmer will do the job (but don't expect such a machine to be cheap).
We use a Batronix USB programmer:

List price is 289 USD (plus you'll need a PLCC adapter) which is quite a bit cheaper than a lot of the others on the market, and it will program a huge variety of different chips. It's pretty fast too (much faster than any serial/parallel port programmer)
