Maybe i should provide some more info:

The card has an ATMEL AT 49BV512 flash rom.
I was able to read the original contents with cromutil (at least the
resulting file contains the text strings shown at power up).
I was also able to erase the flash rom - reading it again showed all
zeroes.
When programming, cromutil loops forever verifying the rom contents,
which is always zero (while (inb(ioaddr+0x8) != b);).
Manufacturer and device id is shown as zero, BIOS reports 10B7 9200.

Any more info required?
