+I am making this a general-purpose userland flash burner -- RGM
+
+Earlier notes from Ollie:
+
+Here is some utilities for using/programming flash ROM on SiS 630/950 M/Bs
+
+	1. flash_on, turnning on the flash writer enable for 630/950 M/Bs,
+ 	   you have to run this before load DoC drivers.
+
+	2. flash_rom, use your 630/950 M/Bs as a flash programmer for some
+	   flash parts. This utility is made as modular as possible. If
+	   you find your flash part is not supported, you can add a driver
+	   your own. Or sending me the data sheet.
