I've a commell lv671 board with W39V040FA bios chip and Winbound
w83627hf-aw super-io chip.

If I burn the factory bios the page count increase from 0001 to 0007 and
takes about 20 seconds/page:

video:/usr/src/neues_bios/LinuxBIOSv2/util/flashrom# flashrom -w originalbios.img
Calibrating delay loop... ok
No LinuxBIOS table found.
Found chipset "ICH4/ICH4-L": Enabling flash write... OK.
W39V040FA found at physical address: 0xfff80000
Flash part is W39V040FA (512 KB)
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
Programming Page: 0007 at address: 0x00070000
video:/usr/src/neues_bios/LinuxBIOSv2/util/flashrom# flashrom -v originalbios.img
Calibrating delay loop... ok
No LinuxBIOS table found.

Verifying flash - FAILED

the same with linuxbios, but the burning takes about 10 seconds for the
whole burn:

video:/usr/src/neues_bios/LinuxBIOSv2/util/flashrom# flashrom -w ../../targets/commell/lv671/lv671/linuxbios.rom
Calibrating delay loop... ok
No LinuxBIOS table found.
Found chipset "ICH4/ICH4-L": Enabling flash write... OK.

Note: If the following flash access fails, you might need to specify -m
<vendor>:<mainboard>
