Backup BIOS dump read from an HP EliteBook 8740w, a raw 8 MB binary sized for an 8 MB SPI flash chip. The associated board number 6050A2266501 follows Inventec numbering, the ODM behind many HP business laptops, and is printed on the motherboard. A backup like this is useful for restoring a board after a corrupted flash or for comparing against a faulty chip. Write it with a hardware programmer only to a board with the same 6050 number, and save the current chip contents first, because a dump may carry machine-specific data such as serial and system IDs.
