Hi Alessandro,

thanks for your report.

We don't have a driver for the SPI interface in your chipset, but if you
have a DOS flasher for your board, we can try to reverse engineer it
with your cooperation. Rudolf Marek has a utility you can run under
FreeDOS which uses the serial port to trace the flasher with the help of
another Linux machine. From these traces, we can then try to figure out
the SPI programming interface. More info later.

Anyway, the output of "flashrom -V" and "superiotool -dV" would be
helpful to make sure we're working in the right direction.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
