    Many people lost a huge time to restore a BIOS after wrong flashing and sometimes computers. Especially, after integration vBios into sBios.

    There's no way, it is not possible to check written Bios with vBios file, before flashing chip? But no word here on forum about.

    My way - Aspire 8935g, was to change original biosfile with modified Bios file (by adding vBios) in catalog where Acer"s .exe unpacking itself when you run biosfile.exe, and then run Winflash.exe.That way was a chance that Winflash utility, in Windows environment, stop flashing chip, when find any mistakes.
    But! Is there any environment you can check bios file before flashing chip?
