A Few times I have prised out the Eprom off the motherboard and re-flashed it with my own small programs for a super-fast embedded system or game. (the eprom is ussally the only socketed item on the motherboard apart from the CPU) The main

Slightly off topic, but relevant in this discussion. I worked in IT in local and central government in the UK, all departments of which I was in would have completely ignored these guidelines for their own petty reasons of security, people
