I see IS25WP032D (1.8V). No Winbond.

I suspect that the OP wants to know which of the two ROMs needs to be hacked for terminal access. I suspect that the other is a cache for power loss data protection.

the image he uploaded was not clear so i got it from my pcb dump

I don't think that answers his question. By "BIOS", I expect that he means the ROM which contains the boot code. Presumably he only wants to mess with one ROM, not both.
