[flashrom] Lenovo ThinkCenter A60 (8991-39U)

[Justin Chevrier]

Hi Guys,

I decided to try Flashrom on one of the Lenovo systems we have onsite
here. Reading appears to work and it verifies against the chip (although
the resulting file does not match the size of file provided by Lenovo
(Lenovo's file is larger) so I'm not sure if there's some extra stuff in
there). Below is the message I receive when attempting to write to
flash. I have attached the output from the standard tools. The BIOS chip
on this board is socketed and I have other systems of the same type so I
can easily swap chips if something goes south. If there's anything else
I can do/test I'd be more than happy to try!
