Hello,

Great!

It looks like your board already has the lspci output provided by 
someone else, and the flashrom -Vw output you put on paste.flashrom.org 
is good enough.

The "readout.rom" part, along with the rest of that description, is 
actually for people who we'll need to do some reverse engineering for in 
order to support flashing.  Since your board works, you don't need to 
upload it.

If you like you can paste a suprtiotool output, but again, since 
flashing works, it is not necessary.

Thanks,

Josh

OK. Thank you all again. Everything is fine with the new BIOS.
So maybe just the chip info should be updated to support write?
Just to make sure again, my mobo is K7VTA3/KT333:3.1 (3.1 being the
PCB version).
