820-00629-A 8MB BIOS

BIOS .rar 8.84 MB Shared

Firmware image for Apple logic board 820-00629-A, sized for an 8 MB flash chip and packed in an 8.84 MB RAR; the Mac model is not given in the name. Such an image is written to the board's SPI EFI chip with a programmer when the firmware is corrupted or locked. Always read and save the original chip first, because it holds machine-specific data such as the serial number, and confirm the extracted image is exactly 8 MB to match the 64 Mbit chip before writing.
