Re: [coreboot] Flashrom won't work with DediProg SF100 fw 6.5.03

[Steve Goodrich]

I got the Chromium version of flashrom to work, but it takes 20 minutes to
flash/verify the 8 MB device.  So, while "working" is far better than "not
working", it is a bit sluggish.  :-)

Any thoughts on speeding it up?
