No, no, the new BIOS being sent is already programmed with the latest
version. Otherwise I would not be able to boot. I just wanted to program a
backup onto the old chip if that is possible. Peter Hogan has responded to
me and said that he had done a "hot swap" successfully before, but did warn
that there is some hazard to doing so.

Are you sure that the BIOS chip you are being sent is a blank one?  I would
think that if it is a replacement BIOS chip, it will come with whatever the
default BIOS flash is that is being used by Shuttle at this time.
Obviously, this is something that you would want to get confirmed, and there
must be some reason for you thinking that the one being sent to you may have
nothing on it.
