yes, vga bios is often self modifying code. I fell like back on the
Amiga or C64 seeing that stuff.

What's the ID? Can you run flashrom -V and mail the output to this list
or to me directly.

What output? Are you sure aw512n is the vga bios image?

machine and log the output in your terminal program... That always
