update!

22 nov 2011 - E3 website:
New E3 flasher update released, it will backup bios 3 times automatically. We suggest user verify those bios with E3 Nor dump checker, to assure the backup bios is no erro.'
Added critisism in wiki:
Conclusion: Anyone with a flasher (should) know that you can dump it 1 to 1000's times the same bad. Comparing CRC/MD5/SHA1 is not any secure way to validate flash (as mentioned on Hardware flashing)


The thing is, even if they did it 55 million times with a bad clip or whatever reason is went wrong, it will be 55 million times a bad dump.
Letting the dumper do it 3 times, only gives endusers/customers a false sense of reassurance, always a bad idea.
