820-01700-A ORGINAL BIOS

BIOS .rar 2.34 MB Shared

Original BIOS dump for the Apple logic board 820-01700-A, compressed as RAR and 2.34 MB in size. Apple 820-xxxxx numbers identify the logic board itself, and the A suffix is the revision, so check both against the silkscreen. A clean firmware image is used to reflash the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or to clear a locked chip. Always read and keep the board's own contents first, because the image may carry serial or other machine-specific data, and confirm the size suits the fitted chip.
