In conversing with mu brother over a couple of Coors today, we figure we'll
replace the flash ROM chips. Being right next to the processor (I'm almost
positive), good chance they got fried with help from the 233 MHz
processor... if not, when I did the fail Safe and blast on my working 166, I
got this...

Wrong ROM vendor. AMD or Intel Parts expected.

Sound like the flash ROM is limping along, dishing out wrong info, therefore
screwing the firmware blast. Make sense?

look, bit 0x20 is always low. Could be either the Flash memory chips, or a
buffer on the path if there's one.
