I've been reading up on hot swapping techniques, have read ruslans guides and other related material. Know i've got an old socket 7 motherboard with possible bad bios chip and would like to get it up and running again. I've downloaded the bios file and have flashing programs . Ruslan mentioned that most asus boards will write to the boot block. I've got an asus a7m266 (theres no jumper for enabling/disabling boot block write) but was wondering if the board will be okay to write the entire file to a new chip, boot sector and all??
I'm gambling a bit since i havent installed a zif socket but i've got a steady hand and a chip removal toll(errgh he whipperers a little uncertainly) well dint like my board that much anyway
thanks
