BIOS .bin 512 KB Shared

A 512 KB BIOS image whose name, 945pl7ae, suggests a desktop board built on the Intel 945PL chipset, though the exact board maker is not stated. The size fits a 4 Mbit flash chip, common on desktop boards of that generation, often in PLCC or DIP packages. A programmer such as a TL866 or a hot-swap method can restore a corrupted chip. Back up the original first and confirm the model printed on the motherboard matches, as similar file names can belong to different boards.
