Just FYI, some luck writing this chip on the sis board ...
The write had no errors. The -v failed. But on using the -r to read to a file, I find no differences between the file used for -w and the file used for -v!
Next is to try to actually put the vga bios onto the image and see if, this time, I get something.
I brought a post card home so I'm hoping to see something.
