Hello,
See below the output of the /flashrom -p internal -V on a National
Instruments 8351 Rackmount Controller. It is a rebranded MSI MS-9218.
After specifying the laptop:this_is_not_a_laptop option the flashrom is
able to detect and read the flash fine:
Proceeding anyway because user forced us to.
Found chipset "Intel ICH7/ICH7R". Enabling flash write... OK.
Found SST flash chip "SST49LF008A" (1024 kB, FWH) at physical address
0xfff00000.
Reading flash... done.
root at TS333:~/flashrom# ./flashrom -p internal -V
flashrom v0.9.6.1-r1620 on Linux 2.6.32-41-generic-pae (i686)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
flashrom was built with libpci 3.0.0, GCC 4.4.3, little endian
Command line (3 args): ./flashrom -p internal -V
Initializing internal programmer

DMI chassis-type is not specific enough.
W836xx enter config mode worked or we were already in config mode. W836xx
leave config mode had no
effect.

Please send the output of "flashrom -V" to
flashrom at flashrom.org with W836xx: your board name: flashrom -V
as the subject to help us finish support for your Super I/O. Thanks.
========================================================================
WARNING! You may be running flashrom on an unsupported laptop. We could
not detect this for sure because your vendor has not setup the SMBIOS
tables correctly. You can enforce execution by adding
'-p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop' to the command line, but
please read the following warning if you are not sure.
Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we
recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller
(EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing.
See http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details.
If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop
and write may brick your laptop.
Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight
failure and sudden poweroff.
You have been warned.

Our company is manufacturing a wide range of embedded x86 based PXI
controllers. I have checked some, and most of them was worked with the
flashrom after specifying the this_is_not_a_laptop switch.
What kind of information do you need to get them officaly verified and
supported?
Thank you for the flashrom, this is a great program!
