![]() I went through some 20 years flashing BIOSes without mishap from a pre-prepared floppy disk, until a flash "didn't take" with a 680i motherboard. Usually, the pre-flashed chip should cost between $12 and $20. What other sources there are, I couldn't say. ![]() The last time I did this, I discovered that ASUS would sell the chips pre-flashed for you in support of their boards. There was an outfit called "BIOSman." No more. It was once easier to find independent outfits offering the service to custom-flash a particular BIOS version for a particular motherboard and send you the new PLCC chip with a discount for turning in the old one. ![]() Some of them are soldered to the board others need only the typical plastic extraction tool, or just a little extra care.
