Greetings,
Unfortunatly, on the older boards, it's physically impossible to have more than a 4Mbit flash (many boards are limited to 2Mbit) because of not enough address lines. The DoC gets around that by being able to page in bits of the ROM kind of like EMM from the bad old days.
Newer boards that use LPC or Firmware Hub flashes usually come with 4 or 8Mbit and can (in theory) accept up to 32Mbit. In practice, the chipsets may impose limits on that.
G'day, sjames

Hi all,
is possible to find flashroms with at least 6 o 8 Mbits of Memory to substitute the normal flashrom ..?, i prefer don't use DoC ... if it's possible, why you use DoC ? by price, by the possibiliti of Disk ?
These days i was asking for many things about LinuxBios ..., this is because i'm studing the possibility to make my final thesis over LinuxBios ..., my objective is enlarge the capacities of kernel that is running into flashrom, just like manage hardware directly, and other things ..., for this reason i need more space in flashrom ..., and understand rombios functionality ..., at the moment i only knew about Linux Kernel ...
Thanks. Xavi.
