@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems Just tested dumping a BIOS from a retro PC:
I: g.hardware.assembly: port A voltage set to 3.3 V
I: g.cli: running handler for applet 'memory-25q'
W: g.applet.memory.25q: argument --quad-spi specified, but fastest read mode is 1-1-1
reading: 100%|███...██| 2.00Mi/2.00Mi [00:01<00:00, 1.42MB/s]
I: g.applet.memory.25q: verify PASS
Nice. I think that is the fastest read/verify I ever saw. Thank you! (Used my new Aliexpress press-on "probe", which worked really nice)

@TobiX@social.troll.academy nice! I see there's no SFDP in it? (what does identify tell you?) also, reading "retro PC" about something with an SPI flash in it aged me like a decade 💀
