Zotac GeForce 8200: flashrom -V

[LukenShiro]

I've used successfully flashrom 0.9.4 with my mainboard, reading (with
-r) and writing (with -w) Zotac stock BIOS (updating it to last
available version). No special flag were needed.

# ./flashrom -V
(results are attached)

Best regards.

hello and thanks for your report!
there are different versions of the board:
http://pden.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=92&opti...
can you please confirm that you have the last one (w/o any suffixes)?

also, the dmi strings above look a bit odd. could you please run
"dmidecode -t 1 -t 3 -u" and send us the output?

I confirm it is the last one (with four DIMM slots), without any
suffixes.

Attached. As far as I remember mispelled 'unknown' references were
present when I was using older BIOS releases, too (if it makes sense
for you).

Thank you. Best regards.
