I own both these boards, and they work fine with flashrom internal programming.

A detail: Flashrom can flash and verify an as-provided Biostar BIOS image on the TA780G board, but it will fail to boot. This is apparently because of some binary patch that the OEM utilities apply prior to flashing, and not because of a problem with the flash write/erase per se. Fortunately, Biostar has a really good BIOS failsafe mode.
From what I've gathered on the mailing list, such issues are usually not
signaled in the Flashrom docs or wiki... although maybe they should be?
We have a "note" field in the board list. It is NULL for your board, but it can be any string, and for problematic boards it usually is an URL to a mailing list message, and a few words about what's broken.
