No I will need to patch it. I have been reading through the source code of a DOS based flash utility, Uniflash (Pascal) and it's probe routine appears to use both methods. (it tries old method first BTW) It works well (under DOS/FreeDOS) and supports a surprising variety of chips and southbridges.
That's where I got the idea to try the old method. I was just using an homemade one to try and figure out what the problem was. I'm looking at integrating it right now.
