This board is a tyan tiger 1832DL 440BX (2x750P3). I'm wonder if there are any known issues with DOC's on the 440bx boards? Or any known issues with any of the lately issued DOC Millinium chips?
I hate to say it, but it may be the old "hidden write enable" problem, i.e. there is a special GPIO line used to control write enable in addition to the normal mechanism.

(geez. i hate that. when clicking "reply" in the email client, it sets the return address to ron@blah.domain instead of using the linuxbios mailling address! oh well.)
I've done quite a bit of research and see you make mention of this once during a discussion (with no follow-ups).
Is this problem chip specific (issue with the DOC)?
A simple solution would be to aquire a Eeprom programmer (ie h/w to connect via serial cable to program/flash/read eeproms?)
If this problem is relative to my tyan tiger 1832dl (440BX) motherboard, I could probably utilize a 440GX(?) board that I also have as a solution.
