OK, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Most people do not have access to
another identical motherboard to perform what you describe, making
what you describe impratical. True it can be done, usually at a much
higher cost than a new eeprom.
But in case you hadn't noticed, and I understand why, considering how
you and our resident rocket scientist both like to ignore quoting, and
what others say, is that I was saying it is very possible to write to
an eeprom, unlike what stl137 claimed.
