For about $30 in parts and 20-30 minutes of soldering work you
can build your own flash-rom ISA card.  Search for "c't flasher".
If ppl are interested, I can dig up more links, or perhaps, if
ppl are scared off by soldering I could assemble some more myself.

I built one for myself already last time I hosed a bios (flashed
in the stupid zip file instead of the rom image--doh!) and it's
far more cost effective to just build the burner than to buy a
single replacement rom--especially since the very next rom image
I tried on that board was also a no-go.
