I tried it, but not much successfully. It kinda work (as an app) but it
didn't get the needed info. I got this:

(FFFF,FFFF) Flash ROM Chip: unknown
Organisation: N/A (is write protect disabled?)
PCI chipset: Intel 852GM(E)/855GM(E)
Last write status: not available

ROM Base: FFFE0000, memory dump at FFFE0000->F0EAF0F0

I tried saving a CMOS copy (seemed to work, but no I didn't have the file
later) and also a BIOS copy(same here). On this 2nd uniflash hanged (and
the whole system)

At first I thought it was a disk access problem but then I run uniflash,
quit and the run again. The system hanged again so my BIOS should be really
crappy.

I don't know how much info could you extract from these lines, but I'm
afraid there's little to do with this board.

Thanks.
