BIOS .rar 1.55 MB Shared

EFI firmware archive for Apple logic board 820-2883, with the suffix A, probably denoting the board revision. This number belongs to the 13-inch MacBook A1342. The 1.55 MB RAR should contain a ROM image for the board SPI flash, used to recover machines with corrupted firmware or a locked firmware state. Write it with an external programmer after saving the existing contents, and check that the chip capacity equals the image size before flashing.
