¿Has anyone try to flash a 2Mb BIOS using a S4/Dataman eeprom programmer with only 128Kb RAM....?

As far as i know there must be a way to burn first half of chip and then the rest.... but I don't know how.

I found some comments a Dataman page but I would like some direct success (or fail) stories....


Thanks in advance,

To whom it could interest:

flashing with S4 programmer in several steps is fairly easy. You just have to indicate the appropriate offset for each 128Kb chunk you want to write.

Yo have to set the offset directly in the programmer. Due to unknown reasons this feature doesn't work from PC terminal.
