[LinuxBIOS] EPIA MII 12000

[Corey Osgood]

I never got flashrom to work on my board (same chip set, different
board), try uniflash (www.uniflash.org), you'll need a DOS boot disk as
well. Also, the RD1-PLs are no longer in production, and none of the
distributers I know of have any. Here's the chip I'm using on my board:
