I'm trying to upgrade my old 486 with one of the now inexpensive
overdrive chips. Although the mainboard manual says it is supported
after visiting the web site (which i didnt even know existed till a
few days ago) i found out i need a bios upgrade to enable the
write-back caching that the overdrive needs.
overdrive chips. Although the mainboard manual says it is supported

write-back caching that the overdrive needs.
I found the proper bios upgrade on the website but the problem is that
the current bios chip isn't flashable and requires an EEPROM burner.
So i have two questions:
#1 Anyone know where i can find someone to burn me an EEPROM?
#2 Could i do the hotswap trick on a different computer and then put
THAT chip into this one?
extra info:
