Hello Ray,
The hardware that you would need is something called a BIOS programmer. Usually they use a USB port and might be found cheaply online. Flashrom has a list of supported programmers:

My suggestion would be to purchase a Raspberry Pi, which is a cheap Linux computer that has builtin hardware support needed to flash ROMs. It might be less trouble and more easier to get. The Pi, microSD card, case, breadboard jumper cables and breadboard (for easier seating of BIOS chip) may cost around $50 USD.

HI, I know this might be a noob question but Im trying to setup for flashing different kind of rom files and I need to purchase the hardware to do so. I am looking to flashing motherboards and other rom devices. Can you please guide me into buying the proper hardware or if you sell it I would gladly buy it from you. Thank you.
