   That is fantastic news, thank you.

These nettops are a great HTPC (XBMC / Kodi) solution...too bad they aren't sold any more.  Great little units, very easy on the power bill.

	It should be though you will want to get it from ASRock as it will come preflashed to the correct BIOS. A blank chip is as useless as the one with the wrong BIOS on it. You can find the details here, a new chip is $5 + shipping.

	OK so I flashed the wrong BIOS into my ION 330Pro. Instead, I flashed it with ION 330 firmware. Total user error. So, the question is, is the BIOS chip (I believe it is a Winbond chip, which is in a socket) replaceable? I found a company in the Netherlands who will ship me a chip. Anyone have any thoughts or advice? Many thanks.
