SST39VF010 in VIA VT8237

I hot swaped my current bios on an ASUS A7V600-X (VT8237) mainboard (original bios chip PMC Pm49FL002 FWH/LPC) with an SST39VF010 LPC I think.
I used uniflash 1.40 with no success.
The SST wasn't recognized by uniflash so I forced it but nothing. I also tried -ASUS , nothing.

Any clue if I can write the SST with this mainboard?
Any clue if I can with another mainboard that I have, it has the VIA VT8235 and the BIOS chip is an Amic A290021TL LPC I think.

Thanks

I posted this issue in General forum before but I think it belongs here.

It does not work because 39VF010 is not parallel flash ROM - and what's more, it's for 3.3V. It should work in the second board - AMIC A29002 is parallel chip too - but 5V so there's a risk that the 39VF010 will be damaged. I've once flashed 39VF020 successfully in c'f flasher which is 5V only.
