If I still had a 7.4 machine I would compile a patched binary for you,
unfortunately I don't -- 8.1 only).

Can you checkout current development code, apply and try the applied patch ?
It should enable erasing/writing your chip, Winbond W39V040FA.
The source code can be found here:
http://www.flashrom.org/Downloads#Installation_from_source
You can skip the installation part. Just run flashrom, as root, from its
build directory: "./flashrom"

Commit message:

Add erasing/writing functionality to Winbond W39V040FA and Winbond
W39V040FC, rename unlock_w39v040fb() to unlock_w39v040fa_fb_fc().
Marked the W39V040FA as untested: TEST_OK_PR
Not yet tested (on hardware) for the W39V040FA, untested for the W39V040FC.

When this patch is tested, the erase/write status for the W39V040FA requires
updating.
