+in-system using a supported mainboard, but it also supports flashing of network
+cards (NICs), SATA controller cards, and other external devices which can
+program flash chips.
-It supports a wide range of DIP32, PLCC32, DIP8, SO8/SOIC8, TSOP32, and
-TSOP40 chips, which use various protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash,
-or SPI.
