<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><p class="MsoNormal">I apologize if it does not make sense at all since this is
my first attempt to flash a bios with unmatched bios ID.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was trying to flash bios on a Itona TC2331 to get rid of
the limitation they put on of any IDE HDD and USB HDD can’t be larger than
64mb.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The current bios rom, flash program and documentation can be
found here:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><a href="ftp://ftpguest:letmein@ftp.vxl.net/../Utilities/BIOS/TC23YY/">ftp://ftpguest:letmein@ftp.vxl.net/../Utilities/BIOS/TC23YY/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Since I don’t have any working rom so I am hoping to
use the file from this board<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3215#dl">http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3215#dl</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because they are from the same vendor and used the same
chipset. I understand it may not work at all but decide to take the risk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I can’t find any program to flash the bios that can
ignore the bios ID. The vendor provided one can flash the bios but does not
have the option to ignore the unmatched bios ID. Flashrom failed at probing the
chipset.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The building Q-Flash tells that it is MX25L4005 which should
be supported by Flashrom. I also tried “internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop”
and still no success.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I am not sure what else I should try to make Flashrom
work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p> </div></body>
