Hi Chet,
thanks for your report. I noticed that you're using a pretty old version of flashrom. Newer versions of flashrom have marked this chip as confirmed working. However, there's a big catch. See below for details.

I'm going to be slow about this as I don't want to brick my very useful notebook, but the bios read seemed to work successfully. Here is the output from the read operation. This is an old IBM T30 and it pretty much does everything I need as it stands. It does need an upgraded bios to accommodate some updated wifi features.
Please don't use flashrom on any laptop. The interaction with the embedded controller on a laptop can cause a failed flash, bricking your laptop. The only way to recover would be a repair center or desoldering the flash chip and flashing the image from another identical model.
We'd warn flashrom users about this, but there is no reliable way to detect whether a given machine is a laptop or not.
