There are known rootkits that will flash the BIOS to insert themselves into the boot process, so the concern was if code can be flashed, could other data be living in there somewhere? Either accidentally or on purpose?
Then just flash them yourself again :-) Of course, you have to locate the bios updates of those boards, which may be old and difficult to find. Otherwise, identify the flash memory chip and pull it out. No need to grind to dust the entire board. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
