Hi. I have a EPIA 800 too. I don't want to make an ad for them, but 
www.badflash.com sent me two blank chips by mail for 10$ each. That's fair and 
I can keep a backup copy of my original BIOS away from my test lab in case 
something goes terribly wrong. They didn't send me the exact same SST chip, 
but it works great.
