Need Help after BIOS crash

How did you flash the new 256K chip, if your BP6 BIOS was hosed?
Did you have access to another BP6? If yes, how do you boot it with a blank BIOS, prior to burning?

I believe you can get a BIOS chip programmed for the BP6 directly from ABIT for a nominal fee.

Or, perhaps someone has a dead BP6 & can loan you the BIOS to make a couple fresh copies.

I've never liked flashing BIOSs - ever since I downloaded a defective one from ASUS''s website to fix a WIndows problem, and proceeded to kill a mission critical PC right in front of my client. If you don't have another BIOS chip in hand, it's ABIT too risky.

I have (3) BP6 systems - but no burner to copy over to another EEPROM.
I could capture the image of working EEPROM to a file that you could use with your friend's burner. Do you know what S/W tool could be used to make such a file? I could E-mail you the result I we find one.

I take it you no longer need an image of the BIOS?
