So, let's assume that's the case. 

The Q-flash tool - built into the proprietary bios - also has 'restore'
functionality.

So; if I would attempt to 'restore' the copy of the BIOS I made with Q-flash,
I would have a brick? Or perhaps those 2 bytes don't matter for proper
operation of the machine?

I guess that means that flashrom needs fixing. Can someone who knows MCP55
chime in?

Thanks,
Ward.
