I tested identify, read, write, erase, verify successfully, HOWEVER, this will only work (at least on my card) after de-soldering the soldered-on PLCC32 one-time programmable (OTP) chip (Holtek HT27C010) and soldering on a (re-)programmable flash ROM chip or a socket. Example: http://www.coreboot.org/File:Sii_controller1.jpg http://www.coreboot.org/File:Sii_controller2.jpg The OTP chip which came on my card does not react to the standard JEDEC identify/read/write/erase commands anymore, so if all other such PCI0680 controllers which are around also have the same OTP chip (that's not necessarily the case), they cannot be used as "external programmer" in flashrom without the above mentioned modifications.

flashrom README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
flashrom is a utility for reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash ROM
chips. It's often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware images in-system
using a supported mainboard, but it also supports flashing of network
cards (NICs), SATA controller cards, and other external devices which can
program flash chips.
It supports a wide range of DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8, SO8/SOIC8, TSOP32, and
TSOP40 chips, which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash,
or SPI.

Build Requirements
------------------
To build flashrom you need to install the following packages or ports:
Linux et al:
* pciutils
* pciutils-devel / pciutils-dev / libpci-dev
* zlib-devel / zlib1g-dev
On FreeBSD, you need the following ports:
* devel/gmake
* devel/libpci
To compile on Linux, use:
make
To compile on FreeBSD, use:
gmake
To compile on Solaris, use:
gmake LDFLAGS="-L$pathtolibpci -lpci -lz" CC="gcc -I$pathtopciheaders" \
CFLAGS=-O2
To compile on DragonFly BSD, use:
ln -s /usr/pkg/include/pciutils pci
gmake CFLAGS=-I. LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -lpci -lz"
To compile and run on Darwin/Mac OS X:
Install DirectIO from coresystems GmbH.
DirectIO is available at http://www.coresystems.de/en/directio.
