BIOS .bin 2.00 MB Shared

2 MB firmware file named sam.bin, presumably for a Samsung machine, though the name gives no model, board number or version. Treat it as unidentified until its internal strings have been checked with a hex editor or a BIOS analysis tool. The size corresponds to a 16 Mbit SPI flash chip, a common capacity on older notebooks. Flash it only with an external programmer after reading and backing up the existing chip. Make sure the target chip capacity matches and the board is the correct one.
