https://aliexpress.com/item/32725360255.html (burner + clamp,dirty cheap, I> wanted the clamp, couldn't resist it) this is an I2C/SPI programmer (says 24 25 series in the description) your flash chip is an LPC/FWH one (49 series). So this won't work. LPC programmers are not cheap (and that will likely not change as they are rarely used these days).
However, I wonder if you need a programmer at all. As long as both machines are still booting, you should be able to read/write the BIOS flash with flashrom's "internal" programmer option. If in doubt, you can send us a verbose log (or paste it on paste.flashrom.org) taken with `flashrom -p internal -o logfile.txt`. Only if something goes wrong and one of the machines isn't booting anymore, you should need a separate programmer.
If you need a programmer, I'm not sure if I can give a good recom- mendation. There is the teensy option [1], but it seems pretty much DIY. What many people do (and succeed) is hot-plugging these flash chips, but it comes with some risk of course. You can boot a PC normally, then, while it's running, swap flash chips and then read/write the second chip like you would during a BIOS update.

About the chip: It seems to me that it could be this (please see attachment) However i looked for it on the web and it seems to be a 4 MB chip, while flashrom-listed one would be 512 KB? I hope it will be right...
Seems correct. The Pm49FL004 datasheet lists the T variant (Pm49FL004T) so this should be compatible.
