BIOS (EFI firmware) dump for the Apple iMac A1418, EMC 2638, logic board 820-3588-A. Apple's 820-xxxx numbers identify logic boards, and the suffix letter marks the revision. A1418 is the 21.5 inch iMac. The 4.15 MB ZIP is used to rewrite the SPI boot ROM when the machine fails to chime or start after firmware corruption. Back up the original ROM first, since it contains the serial number and other unit data, and confirm the board number and the flash capacity before writing.
