BIOS .bin 8.00 MB Shared

Boot ROM image for the Apple logic board 820-2936, with the b suffix in the name probably indicating board revision B. The 8.00 MB raw binary fits a 64 Mbit SPI flash device. It is written with an external programmer when a Mac board fails to start because its firmware is corrupt. Confirm the full 820 number and revision silkscreened on the PCB before use. Keep a backup of the existing chip, since serial and configuration data in Apple dumps is machine-specific and may need transferring.
