So, got ahold of the bits I needed to test the bios chip, found it to be corrupted (bit rot is likely, and wouldn't program at all, once pulled off), and have socketed and replaced the chip with a new one.

Only the bios files on theretroweb are basically useless to me. they're split, and no amount of combining or byte padding seems to let me program the new chip (yes, I tested just programming blank, that works fine, it's only the bios files, which seem to fail a crc or similar.) And I can't boot into the board to use the provided flash util, nor do I have another board that has a socket with the pins in the right order I can use for this, or I'd just slap it into one of those.

So, can anyone who has one of these motherboards do a bios dump from a working one and attach it here? It'll be 128kb (131,072 bytes)

Or if you have a working combined file already, that would also be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
