Just to ensure I understood the flashrom project process correctly:

Is there something else besides sending the info I did I could do to get this 
board supported (or marked as not working) in flashrom?  I haven't noticed 
anything related to the board happening in svn and I'm afraid I can't help 
with coding support for it.

I *guess* probe and read could be marked as working but I haven't able to 
actually verify that; the image I read from BIOS with flashrom wasn't exactly 
the same as the vendor shipped one.  And as noted earlier, my write attempt 
failed and it seemed to try to do an erase at start so I guess that means both 
write and erase (or at least erase?) are non-working at the moment.
