BIOS .bin 512 KB Shared

Raw 512 KB read from a Winbond W25X40 flash chip, named only after the chip and a 2019-05-17 timestamp by the programmer software. No device or board is identified. A 4 Mbit part like this often holds EC, small BIOS or peripheral firmware. Before using it, open it in a hex editor to look for identifying strings, and make sure the target chip is the same capacity. Treat it as an unverified backup, and save the existing contents of any chip before writing.
