I have not yet issued a write in the ORG position, only read and verify. I erased the Pm49FL004 flash part present in the BIOS Savior, not the onboard W39V040B.
Long story short, flashrom -w is a no-go for this board (MSI K9N Neo f / ms7260). Tried in both ORG and RD1 modes with BIOS Savior PMC4, and with the following loose flash parts:
PMC Pm49FL004 Winbond W39V040B
-r and -E flags both worked a treat; verified this by issuing an erase, then a -r to file, then a -vV against the resulting file. It was the only time I ever saw a "Verifying flash - VERIFIED" message.
Anyhoo, chalk another board on the "needs vendor mojo to enable writes" list. For the record, the vendor-supplied utility is "AMIFlh.exe" from AMIBIOS.
