Hi Flashrom Team / Forum,
I am using a System Rescue USB drive to run Flashrom The BIOS chip on the HP Elite 3800 is MXIC MX25L12835E Mi-10G. I photographed it to read the correct model..
When Flashrom probes the BIOS chip on HP Elite 3800 SFF it returns the following : [root@sysrescue /mnt/usb/ih]# flashrom -p internal flashrom v1.2 on Linux 6.6.14-1-lts (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

The actual chip is MXIC MX25L12835E Mi-10G.
I checked the MXIC comparison of these chips and they are very similar. The main difference with the 35E is the physical pinout is different.
Do you know if programming using the chip models found by FlashRom would work.
Any advise would be appreciated.
