I can't explain the actual technology of it, but "flashing the ROM"
consists of running an application that comes with the drivers. You put the
video card in a PCI slot and run the flasher app. It walks you through a
short menu and then does the job. I can verify that this works quite well,
having flashed my Voodoo3 2000 PCI a handful of times for driver/firmware
updates.
I also recall doing the same sort of thing to my old Global Village 56k
modem. I used a flash-ROM utility to upgrade to the V.90 protocol.
