Timely email, succesfully used buspirate just two days ago. Still struggling though because you lose the Intel ME/ATM functions. The code for the ME co-resides with the BIOS code in the flash. But the rest works fine. Those functions must be signed with the certificate being stored elsewhere.

That's the problem IMHO. See SMM_BWP in the chipset documentation
(section 13.1.33 in intel document 326200). Short version: if you want
to write there easily, use an external programmer.
