I tested the ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA with an Nvidia MCP61 chipset. The output says, that the chipset is not fully supported so please tell me what I have to consider when testing writing.
I found a Wiki page »MCP SPI support« [3] in the Wiki but the patch [4] is already committed so that tested writing and erasing and it worked without problems.

Reading seems to work. The difference between the read image to the downloaded file (1.20) from the ASRock [2] is minimal according to `bsdiff`.

Please find the outputs asked for on the Wiki page [3] attached.
The BIOS was upgraded to version 2.30 [2] and the board rebooted fine. As expected the defaults had to be loaded due to the CMOS error.
