I couldn't find a datasheet after a quick search,but maybe I missed it.
Does anybody have the datasheet?

I think this is a 49LF004B (notice 8 vs. B). Can you confirm that?

This should have worked and returned id1 0xbf, id2 0x60.

Thechip ID is the same as the one of the SST 49LF004A (which is
supported by flashrom). According to the datasheet they should also
be otherwise compatible.

I guess there's some motherboard-specific fixup required before flashrom
will work. You can use Uniflash or another board which is known to work
for flashing in the mean time, I guess...


HTH, Uwe.
