One question I have is testing.<br><br>How do most people test new bits. Do they actually flash the BIOS on their motherboards. Doesn't that cause issues because as I understand these PROMs only support a limited number of flashes before they go bad ? Or do folks use some sort of emulator and/or spare chips to keep testing.<br><br>Also any inexpensive standalone bios chip programmers on the market ?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Vikram<br></div></div></body></html>
