IBM X31 BIOS Chip location?

[spleenharvester]

Anyone know where the X31 BIOS chip is? I can't find it on the schematic. ftp://helpedia.com/pub/temp/uploads/Spidey/IBM/X31/

Reason is, if it's a SOP8 chip, I'd like to add a "testing socket" for it which would allow me to hot swap it with another chip and use it as a BIOS flashing machine.

Cheers

Also, any ideas what I could do with this old machine? Interesting/useful mods I could perform? :p
