I have a dead HP Pavillion 7955 computer.  It died when it hicupped 
while I was flashing the BIOS so now won't boot anything.  Is it 
possible I could scrounge a similar HP motherboard and swap the BIOS 
with the one in the dead computer, then flash the BIOS with the flash 
floppy I have?  Or is the BIOS really specific to the motherboard.  I 
assume the "new" BIOS would at least boot to a floppy so it could be 
flashed.
