You mean flashrom (not flashbios)?
It has been recently moved to board_enable.c, see

Most electronics dealers should have some, e.g. Conrad: http://www.conrad.de.
Or try one of these:
- http://bios-chip.de/
- http://www.bios-fix.de
eBay has lots of them, too (but not too cheap, usually).
HTH, Uwe.
