Bios written and read sueccessfully. (On Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric) Thanks for your work on this utility, Pavel Stehlik. P.S. : Possibility to rewrite Macronix_MX25L8005 status register (user value, 00->FF or something like that) would be welcome. I wont to write-protect my BIOS and besides connecting pin 3(!WP) to gnd, setting of some bits of SR is neccessary.

Hello Pavel,
thanks for your report! I have marked the mainboard as tested and will commit that later together with other small changes.

without looking at the datasheet i presume that connecting !WP to ground is enough to write protect the whole chip. The lock bits in the status register are a sofware write protection that works independently of the hardware protection (normally). Some chips indicate the HW protection status in the SR though (and flashrom prints it sometimes).
