With older technology, hot-flashing is/was an option if you had two motherboards with the same rom chip.
With dual-bios boards, hot-flashing might still be an option if your software (for some reason) isn't programming the chip you want.
IIRC, Hot-flash routine is typically :
1) Insert known good rom __lightly__ into active bios socket.
2) Boot into dos/whatever.
3) Remove good rom while system remains powered-up.
4) Insert bad rom into same socket.
5) Flash the bad rom.
Step 3) may be easier if you dump some non-conductive dental floss in and out of the socket. You can use this floss to gently lift the good rom out without your fingers or tools going near the energized motherboard. This may require some practice.
Cheers,
