I use Qubes on the flash side, of course. A mini Debian template with just the necessary tools. I've checked a few black programmers and *never* found one with the reported problem. They may be out there. Dont know. It's notable that Nemeth reports using the "faulty" programmer multiple times without mishap. As to identifying the chip, you can test this yourself - use a different chip spec per read - you get the same rom image out. Write back using different chip identifiers - same result. Not to say that chip id may not be important, but in my experience on Lenovos, its not. Of course, you can cover the bases by checking voltage, patching the programmer , trying to identify the chipset etc etc.. I would *strongly* suggest you use a skulls image to get started. Download when you do have net access. You can always reflash internally (without a strip down) later. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
