Ok. If there is physical room for another chip inside the machine you can just connect all important signals across (maybe 10 or so), build a simple transistor switching circuit for the chip select line and finally run only three wires out of the machine. They can be as long as you like.
I think there is room at a side of the plcc socket i put. How long could those wires be ?
A few cm should be fine but keep them as short as possible.
You need pins 2 (7 8) (9 10 11 12) 13 14 15 16 17 24 25 28 29 31 32
Hm, that's 12 but some are the same signal. The ID pins and MODE can probably be tied to either VDD or VSS but check their connections on the original chip first.
So how would you reprogram the flash chip inside the machine?
Uniflash, Asus EZFlash (using a "forced" checksum), etc...
Of course! Sorry. :\
Or try to fix the flashrom for my board :)
That would also be nice, but the chipset could be locked down a bit too much to make it comfortable.
