You mean that it doesn't have the ability to program the flash on board? Because from a read viewpoint there is no difference. Any flash part that meets the same timing and pinout as the part that's already on the board will work. You just need a programmer to change things.
Well, it would be kind of nice to not have to fork out money on a programmer if I can do it from the host system, though. Maybe I can use MSI's firmware programmer with a LinuxBIOS image?
Sorry, I misinterpreted your misinterpretation. :) What I meant to say by that BIOS programming isn't supported isn't that the MB isn't capable, but that MSI doesn't provide the specs for the flash programming interface, and that the BIOS programmer that comes with LinuxBIOS doesn't support my flash chip.
Just wanted to clear that up.
