Can PC motherboards with socketed BIOSes flash EEPROM and FlashRAM?
I know Intel uses FlashRAM soldered on the board, and I thought nearly all other motherboards used EEPROM.
But I'm trying to make a home-brew XBOX mod chip (NOT for piracy!) and the tutorials I see tell you to use a FlashRAM chip in a PC motherboard or program an EEPROM in a ROM programmer. Is this a misprint or can motherboards designed for EEPROM do BOTH?!
The tutorial I'm following can be found HERE.
I'm using a solderless breadboard instead of a mounted socket & PCB until I can get all the components (A little help here?).
