All this talking about a single pin that is causing this is making me
think about something...
This mainboard has 2 jumpers. Each next to each other...
One is "BIOS RESET" and the other is "CRISIS PARK"... Could that
CRISIS PARK maybe connect to pin 8 to disable the flashrom writes??? I
guess if i measure the voltage and/or ohm that should tell me?
