Re: [flashrom] Report for SST29EE020 part

[Néstor a.k.a. DarkMan]

Hello,1- The chip was not erased, it contained the motherboard BIOS. Before starting the tests, I programmed all the chips using the motherboard vendor update disk.2- The erase.bin only contained 0xFF, so the chip was erased correctly.3- The bios.bin file contained the original bios.
Greetings.
