MOXA 682 BIOS Serial Number Correction/Change

[Stormfollower]

Good morning,

I've got a MOXA DA-682 computer running Linux.  When I use dmidecode the serial number in Type 1 comes up blank.  The serial number in Type 2 is correct according to the label on the bottom of the unit. 

I assume that the serial numbers presented in the dmidecode come from the BIOS. Using this assumption I'd like to try and correct the serial number some how.

In reading the forum (and the sticky post there) I've downloaded a number of programs and tried to download others.  I've noticed that alot of information is old and I've scoured the net looking for copies of the files mentioned.I know you ask for link to the bios from the manufacturer (I can't seem to find it as the unit is EOL) and offer a program to download a copy of the BIOS (the link to the file share gives me an error so I can't even search for a free range copy of the file).

I'm going to try and run phlash16-1.7.0.21 and see what I get.

I've also acquired some blank BIOS chips and would like to create copies of the bios in case I mess them up.  Is there a device to allow me to write a copied bios to the chip?

I realize that there is much information lacking in this post and I'll update it as I find answers and have more questions.
