Re: [OFF-TOPIC] burning eeproms under linux ?

[Christoph Plattner <christoph.plattner@dot.at>]

Also a question in this area:

Can the BIOS chip be accessed physically via Linux to read it out
(the compressed binary image). Is this Bios Chip mapped (here
physiocally) to 64M (-128K) or 512M (-128K). 

If yes, is this chipset independent ?
