That's correct. I'm afraid I don't think there is any BIOS savior
still available which works for the older EPIA boards. The flash
chips have parallel address and data lines, so RD1-PL is the one you
need.

As an alternative you could order a few spare flash chips and make
them into pushpinflash:

I still have some flash chips that would fit, if you'd like I'm happy
to send them to you next week for a small cost. (From Sweden)
