Hi all,

I looked into LinuxBios many years ago, but never
tried to burn a new BIOS.

Now, given that many appear to be flashable onboard
by the motherboard itself, I decided to give it another
look.

My machines motherboard has the following:

board: MSI-K7N2GM-L, Athlon XP, NVidia chipset
MS-6777/G (v1.x) M-ATC
Socket-462

Inside I found the following numbers:

1) Pheonix Bios D686(?) Bios 18195747
2) Nvidia NForce2 MCP F85055-R4 0348A4
3) WinBond W83627HF-AW

The book also lists these two:
4) Realtek RTL8201bl
5) VIA VT6307
6) nVidia NForce2 400/IGP

The board has an on-board AGP card, but I'm using
a Matrox G450 dual-head.

I have noted that LinuxBios lists the following as being
supported (flashrom):
NVIDIA MCP55 OK

and in V2
Winbond™ W83627HF ?

I'll continue researching to see if I'll have to Burn
or Flash the LinuxBios, but the book seems to
indicate it is flashable. Hopefully, LinuxBios will
too.

Thanks.

Dale
