Kat,
        The default solution is to put the Bios chip into a programmer and burn the code to it like an old EPROM. I have had to
do this before. Most of the time the flash code is still in a hex format.

The last time I had to do this the Bios was still in a dip chip version. :-)

Good luck

Gordon Varney
