    There was a time when you had to take BIOS chip out and use EEPROM writer to flash it. If you remember even further back, older EPROMs had to be exposed to ultra violet light to erase it after taking sticker off center window. Now you have all kinds of features like a button to flash BIOS without any CPU or RAM, dual BIOS so if one screws up just have switch and even like on my MB contacts to flash BIOS from a 10 dollar machine.
    On this MB I have one problem, can't flash back BIOS that has earlier AGESA code the usual way but would have to use @Bios software from a bootable USB and pretty complicated set of commands.
    List of BIOS versions I flashed on this x470 MB just in last few months

    And BIOS versions flashed on my older x370 MB last year.

    OMFG, I didn't think anyone here would remember EEPROM "manual" programming. I did plenty of those, but I managed to miss the UV erase period lol. I was lucky with the Tandy in that the BIOS chip was truly fried, so I received a brand new one that had nothing to erase, so I could flash it and go. Had to borrow equipment from 2 different friends to get it all done.

    With my system, it's just old - last BIOS was produced in 2011, and though there have been a few mods (with newer Intel RAID ROMs) produced by third parties, as I don't actually use the native RAID, I've not had to update since the last official release.
