So I tried the riskier finger swapping method (and luckily did not fry anything, although I did bend a few pins on the original bios chip pulling it by hand), but none of the flash attempts would work. The most common error was "BIOS size mis-match please download 2Mb BIOS." Yet, the chips to be flashed were just other 1Mb chips from other Socket 7 boards. The other error was "can't read chipset."
So I straightened the pins on the original chip and re-installed it, and now I am back to where I started. No better off. No worse off.
