You might try Conrad or any other electronics shop. Be sure to purchase a chip of the same family (39xx0y0) http://wiki.linuxbios.org/index.php/FAQ#How_do_I_.28re-.29flash_the_BIOS.3F > My colleage has a programmer, which supports that flash.

This will work, I did such a lot of times. With the flash_rom utility mentioned in the FAQ you can also easily create a rom backup file of your original bios. (Be sure to copy it to another machine or floppy before erasing the flash chip though ;) Stefan _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
