Hi,
I find it a bit interesting the board specifies MCP68, but the chipset found is MCP67. I tried to flash the board from a dos boot image (via grub), but got the error that the flash is write protected.
It seems forcing the write worked for somebody: http://www.technologicalwanderings.co.uk/node/70 I have not tried that.
