Hello. First of all, thank you for flashrom.
I have an ECS k7vta3 mobo with VT8233A southbridge.

# flashrom -r bios.old
flashrom v0.9.4-r1394 on Linux 3.2.0-1-686-pae (i686), built with
libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.6.1, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chipset "VIA VT8233A". Enabling flash write... OK.
This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.
Found PMC flash chip "Pm29F002T" (256 kB, Parallel) at physical
address 0xfffc0000.
===
This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: WRITE
The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development
version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version,
please email a report to flashrom at flashrom.org if any of the above operations
work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the flashrom
output with the additional -V option for all operations you tested (-V, -Vr,
-Vw, -VE), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested.
Please mention your board in the subject line. Thanks for your help!

I have the latest BIOS (k7vta330d.exe) here. To write it I would simply run

# flashrom -wv k7vta330d.exe

right?
Should I add any -V just in case too?
