I have P1 computer with Intel triton 3 chipset (tx430) with 128k bios chip. I read that you can flash 29f040b by hotswap method in this mb using uniflash. I tried it, unsuccessfully. Of the 512 kb file size, uniflash will program only last 128 kb to the last 128 kb on the chip. I was successful in programming 128 kb file on this chip, but my actual file size I want to program is 512 kb.

Any suggestions?

I tried different approach also. Since uniflash was correctly programming last 128kb, I created 4 files, first was original 512 kb file, 2 nd was 384 kb file with last 128 kb cut off, 3 rd was 256 kb file with last 256 kb cut off, and 4 th first 128 kb file. I programmed these files one after the other, starting with 512 kb file, hoping that I will get correct programming. Is this OK? I have no means to read the chip after programming to verify.

The motherboard and the flashrom socket have to support bigger size flashroms
It looks your board is only capable of flashing 128KByte Flashroms
