(geez. i hate that. when clicking "reply" in the email client, it sets
the return address to ron at blah.domain instead of using the linuxbios
mailling address! oh well.)

I've done quite a bit of research and see you make mention of this once
during a discussion (with no follow-ups).

Is this problem chip specific (issue with the DOC)?

A simple solution would be to aquire a Eeprom programmer (ie h/w to
connect via serial cable to program/flash/read eeproms?)

If this problem is relative to my tyan tiger 1832dl (440BX) motherboard,
I could probably utilize a 440GX(?) board that I also have as a
solution.
