ROM image of 2.00 MB whose name holds what looks like an HP product code, AU178YX, and the version F.12. HP uses the F-series format for its consumer notebook BIOS versions. No brand or board number is given, so the exact model has to be identified before use. Typical use is writing the image to the SPI flash chip with a programmer to revive a dead board. Back up the original chip first and match the image size to the chip.
The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
