BIOS firmware for a Compal LA-B016P board, revision 1.0, with ZAVC1 given as the project code. Compal names its project platforms with short codes like this, and the LA-B016P number is silkscreened on the motherboard itself. The 4.11 MB RAR should contain an SPI flash image meant to be written with a hardware programmer when a board will not POST or the firmware is corrupted. Dump and keep the original chip contents first, and confirm the image size matches the flash chip capacity.
