Top-Hat Flash
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:

Something like IOSS BIOS Savior

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...
