first i wanted to boot the machine with the "hardware hack" on it, the fans started to move, but i got no response from my monitor. but, after changing the position of the switch, it just worked like usual!

Excellent job! The soldering looks great - very impressive if this was the first time you soldered electronics. :)
Also great to have confirmation that the hardware hack works!
Thank you very much.
after booting the machine, i made a svn co of the linuxbios flashrom util, compiled it and had a look if it will work.
I'm not sure if flashrom actually works with the SPI chips yet.
Carl-Daniel was working on it but I don't remember what the status is.
