I've seen a few posts where users have had a failed flash and they either use a pci card to get the card back or try a boot disk blindly. I was thinking it would be easier to create an autoexec.bat on a seperate bootdisk with the command to flash back to original inside.
Then you would just have to throw in this disk. Boot to it and let it do it's thing. If you wanted to get a little fancier you could add some beep codes so you would know what the batch file was doing and when it was done. To this end I have written a batch file that lets me select from a variety of bios' when I can see the screen and incorporates beep codes when I can't I have attached a zip file containing the necessary files. I think the batch code should be pretty easy to follow. If not or if you would like one customized for your application let me know and I will help. You will need to change the filenames at the top to conincide with the bios filenames you use. I suggest renaming all bin files in 7.3 format if they did not come that way.
