Dear FlashRom mailing list,

  I have a pb dot se 2 netbook with a CG82NM10 Bios chip.
The good news is that Intel was ready to give us all necessary tech docs for supporting it by flashrom.
Not so good news are:
- the chip is not removable so trying to write it would likely only work once
- I currently don`t have time to join your programming effort
Nonetheless I believe that we should at least try to offer read support for the given chip. Being
able to verify the installed Bios can already be of great value when it comes to system security.
If that has worked well I am also ready to venture testing a write support though I would have
to ask whether and how the chip could be repaired on a failed write attempt.

More good news: The NM10/ICH7 has been supported for years now :-)

More not-so-good news: Unfortunately, laptops are usually difficult or impossible to support due to embedded controllers which often share the ROM with the host chipset (NM10 in your case). See the following URL for details: http://flashrom.org/Laptops
