Hi Stefan<br>
<br>
Thanks for your reply.<br>
<br>
I've verified, as you stated, that the file I downloaded from
Shuttle's web page has the same size as the bios file I backed up,
exactly the same, 524.288 !<br>
<br>
I've also found that the versión from the web seems to be the same
as I already have installed, <br>
<blockquote>BIOS Information<br>
Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD<br>
Version: 6.00 PG<br>
Release Date: 02/14/2006<br>
Address: 0xE0000<br>
Runtime Size: 128 kB<br>
ROM Size: 512 kB<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Is it normal that the BIOS has not neede to be updated since 2006 ?<br>
<br>
Can it be that my box is so old that it's not able to boot from a
USB stick ?<br>
I've tried to boot my office laptop with the same USB and it booted.<br>
<br>
BR, Eduardo<br>

Hello Eduardo!

<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">1.- do I need a .rom type file ?
I've visited the Shuttle bios download page and everything there seems
to be .bin files, for windows flash utilities.
Do you know where I can find bios file that falshrom can use ?

There is no such thing as rom or bin "file type". These are just names.
Important is the binary data within files and their names may hint to
one thing or another but are in no way conclusive. If the file provided
by shuttle is exactly as big as the flash chip in question, it is
probably just fine to feed into flashrom. If not then more investigation
is needed.

This chip set is marked as untested.

Yes, and other versions of the same chipset work just fine.
