Hello,
I succesfully flash the BIOS of an Acer Aspire T180 Desktop. Chipset seems to be Nvidia MCP61. At first reboot, motherboard doesn't boot and beep. I had to clear CMOS and then it's OK.
As requested by flashrom, here is the flashrom -V :

Hello Benjamin,
thanks for your report! I have added your board to our list of supported hardware and will commit that later together with other small changes.
