Hi,
it seems I found a working chip with UNTESTED status. Probing for Winbond W39V040A, 512 KB: probe_jedec_common: id1 0xda, id2 0x3d Found chip "Winbond W39V040A" (512 KB, LPC) at physical address 0xfff80000.
It was checked in an old NF-7 Abit motherboard as follows: sudo flashrom -Vr /tmp/backup.bin The file is attached and seems valid. Some more info about the board: *-core description: Motherboard product: NF7-S/NF7,NF7-V (nVidia-nForce2) vendor: http://www.abit.com.tw/ physical id: 0 version: 2.X,1.0 *-firmware description: BIOS vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD physical id: 0 version: 6.00 PG date: 08/19/2004 size: 128KiB capacity: 448KiB
I am ready to try writing as well, but cannot Google appropriate binarí bios :( István

Hello István,
thanks for your report! The flash chip you mentioned is already marked as tested in the current version (so please update). Abit has been bankrupt for quite some time and they eventually shut down their FTP server. I have backed it up, but apparently the directories for the NF7 are empty, sorry. :/
