In article <9784.ecbb.3a9@ice>, ma...@iceflashing.net (known to some as
iCE Flashing iNC) scribed...

Might be easier (and possibly cheaper, if one has or has access to
the necessary device programming equipment) to simply replace the FLASH
device with a standard UV EPROM of the appropriate size. I don't know of
anything other than shortwave UV light that can affect such a device's
contents under normal conditions.

An added advantage to such a conversion is that it is not possible
to write to a UV EPROM anywhere near as easily as you can a FLASH chip,
and it is certainly not possible to electrically erase and re-write the
UV device's contents.

This means that any virii which have the potential to affect the
BIOS will simply fail to do their dirty work if a UV-based chip is used.
