BTW, does the DS10 you used for your tests have a socketed flash? We have two here, but both have soldered SMD flash roms. Unfortunately, I did a mistake when I was flashing LinuxBIOS the last time. As they only do in rom FSB, there's no way out except calling compaq service.
For about $30 in parts and 20-30 minutes of soldering work you can build your own flash-rom ISA card. Search for "c't flasher". If ppl are interested, I can dig up more links, or perhaps, if ppl are scared off by soldering I could assemble some more myself.
I built one for myself already last time I hosed a bios (flashed in the stupid zip file instead of the rom image--doh!) and it's far more cost effective to just build the burner than to buy a single replacement rom--especially since the very next rom image I tried on that board was also a no-go.
