Hello

No, I used Scott's link to get 2x only - I will let you know about the results!

With 128 MB ie 16 megs, I should be able to fit a kernel, some modules, and a busybox with some other basic tools.

Among other things, I wonder if it can improve the boot speed (I believe it will make it worse, because a disk has a better read speed but I want to be sure)

Thanks,

Charles

Last time I bought "high capacity" chips (but not that high, I think it was 8 or 16MB), I did it on AliExpress. Minimum batch of ten. Have you tried there?

Hello

I would like to replace the flash chip with something larger, to add a minimal linux distribution and test some security ideas.

I selected a few chips based on flashrom support, but I can't find any of them on my usual websites.

On ebay, I can't find them in SOIC8 package. Yet IIRC, someone did that with a x60 running coreboot (just can't find the URL at the moment). Hopefully that person is even on the list!

Would you have a recommended source to get 2 or 3 of them?

ideally: M25P128

possible:
MX25L128 05D
N25Q128.3E
W25Q128.V

(because non-volatile write bit chips are produced by Macronix and Winbond)

Thanks
Charles
