here's all the info i can get off stickers, manuals chips ect.
im using:

mobo: ASUS SP97-v (socket 7 ) (with onboard vid)

mobo chipset: SiS 5598

bios chip: winbond W29EE011-15
7400j2731149130G

bios software: Award PCI/PNP 586
s/n 093503359 1995

PROBLEM: uniflash will not detect the bios chip, and says the arrangement is unknown, and may be write potected, when i force it using code DAC1 it refuses to flash successfully. (the main bios is dead, only the bootblock works, and then only just)

what i mean by wont flash is that it flashes- but the varifacation testing thing fails and i am given the option to try again--- i try again and the same thing happens, its loke running in circles

flashrom damaged or some kind of write protection is active - check for protection jumper on the mainboard
Have you tried to use a different stick of memory ?
