Came across this thing today when I was reading a review of an ECS Photon series board. This is how it looks like - two PLCC sockets and a small PCB between them:
Does anyone have hands-on experience (or whatever they call it...) with that device?[/url]

Not quite. It's meant for recovering boards with soldered BIOS chips (patented by ECS). AFAIK BIOS savior is only usable on boards with socketed flash chips...
I guess this thing only works with some ECS boards - some additional hardware (probaly cheaper than a socket...) on a board is needed for this thing to function IMHO.

Looks interesting... Can anyone examine that?

It almost looks like 2 sockets back-to-back and slipped over the bad chip...but that wouldn't work unless you isolated the bad chip somehow so the good chip could take over...
