BIOS .zip 1.39 MB Shared

Firmware archive tied to Apple logic board 820-2530-A, using Apple's 820-xxxx board numbering with an A revision suffix. It most likely contains an EFI boot ROM dump for the SPI flash on that board. Technicians use such dumps to recover a Mac that will not boot because of corrupted firmware. Confirm the 820 number on the PCB first, and read and save the original chip with a programmer before writing. The serial number and other system data usually have to be carried over from the original dump.
