[LinuxBIOS] BIOS Savior

[Erik Gleason]

I own an EPIA MII motherboard with an EFST F49B002UA PLCC chip.  I am wondering out of the two choices I have found which BIOS Savious should I buy? (RD1-LPC2 or RD1-PMC2)  Also can I use the ATMEL AT29C020 PLCC as a replacement?  Thanks for any information that can help, Erik.

Unfortunately neither of those models will work.

You would need either an RD1-PL or an RD1-PL4 but both are no longer
in production an all known stocks worldwide are sold out.

Yes - that should work just fine. SST39SF020 or 040 is another
option.

Actually, they have started selling them again. Have a look at FrozenCPU (US)
and Eksitdata (Sweden).

I only find the RD1-PMC2 and RD1-PMC4, which are incompatible.
(They're LPC.)

Eksitdata list the PL and PL4 but they're out of stock.

Hmm, you're quite right, sorry :/

ago.
