Besides does anybody know if the second free place on the PCB is still
connected in a proper way to enable diy dual boot bios. Does anybody know
which spi flash type is placed on the m57sli-s4.
Uhm - none I think. If you look closely at the second (free) place, you'll
see paths for a plcc socket, and within that, paths for an spi flash part
You only need the outer ring for the plcc. That's what the first chip is -
when ours came off, there was nothing underneath.
I would prefer not to remove the first part but solder something on the free
space. I think i have to search my multimeter.
I don't know how that second chip is wired up, or how the fallback mechanism
works...
I wonder whether the inner spi flash part is indeed a fallback for the
outer plcc flash memory. This is not necessarily so. Like on NICs, spi
is for config data (MAC@, PHY speed and such) while plcc is for BOOT
ROM. -- Q
