*Flash chip is Atmel 26DF081A, I'm finding that I can't read it in-circuit either, with a TL866A programmer and clip.
flashrom v0.9.7-r1782 on Linux 3.16.0-4-586 (i686) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Not all flash regions are freely accessible by flashrom. This is most likely due to an active ME. Please see http://flashrom.org/ME for details. Writes have been disabled for safety reasons. You can enforce write support with the ich_spi_force programmer option, but you will most likely harm your hardware! If you force flashrom you will get no support if something breaks. On a few mainboards it is possible to enable write access by setting a jumper (see its documentation or the board itself). 0x90: 0x00 (SSFS) SSFS: SCIP=0, FDONE=0, FCERR=0, AEL=0 0x91: 0x004024 (SSFC) SSFC: SCGO=0, ACS=1, SPOP=0, COP=2, DBC=0, SME=0, SCF=0 0x94: 0x0000 (PREOP) 0x96: 0x0008 (OPTYPE) 0x98: 0x0000ab9f (OPMENU) 0x9C: 0x00000000 (OPMENU+4) 0xC1: 0xffffffff (VSCC) VSCC: BES=0x3, WG=1, WSR=1, WEWS=1, EO=0xff, VCL=1
