Anyone own a Bios Savior?

I was reading on Paul's Unofficial Abit Kg7/Kr7 page about bios flashing, etc, and this little device caught my eye. Although I've flashed a few hundred bios's with success, I have had a few misflashes, and this little thing seems like some pretty strong insurance. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with them, and where they got them? Currently I only know of Mwave and a Swedish place that sells these things.
I figure eeprom technology doesn't change that often so a ~20$ investment for multiple motherboards doesn't seem too bad.

Comments? Experiences? Know something I don't?

I used one w/A7V133.
It's like you have an extra bios rom, so if one goes bad you can boot w/another one and you can program your original rom,
unless it has any physical problem.

To my chagrin, I didn't have any problem w/flashing bios. I can't use it now, since the A7V266-E board using a PLCC chip.
If your motherboard's bios is frequently upgraded, it's worth of the money.

You figure correctly...🙂 I have been using them since they first came out, and are well worth the investment and peace of mind. I like to use them for testing hacked or beta BIOS versions as well as insurance against misflashes. I once had a BIOS corruption without flashing, and it was nice to be able to flip the switch and see the system boot. 😉
