I found the BIOS chip brand and version: Its a Winbond W290C020-90
(84400M282325601VA). Any suppliers available somehere?
Is it large enough to host LinuxBIOS?

My dual-CPU MSI-6120 MOBO has on-board dual channel Adaptec 7895 SCSI
support. Does V1 support this? What about the FSB settings avalaible in
the MSI/AMI BIOS v2.0: 100MHz, 103MHz, 112MHz, 133MHz?
It would be nice to run the board at 133MHz, eqipped with an 1.4GHz
Tualatin Celeron 2 or dual PIIIs. (Or VIA C3 1.0-1.4GHz, currently
single CPU, and hopefully soon dual CPU)
