I asked VIA for one VT8237 programming guide, but they don't supply me one.

Sure, the original MB flash part is 256KB, but I see it detect 512KB flashes

Are you sure the SST49LF160C follows jedec routines completely? I seem

Well, I am not a flash expert, but I don't see any warnning on SST49LF160C
datashet.

Bari, do you know whether VT8237 can work with LinuxBIOS VT8235 code or not?

Stefan suggest me it maybe has just minor changes, as you has the VT8237
datasheet, can you please confirm it?
