I did find a pdf that was somewhat interesting:

http://www.msc-ge.com/download/pcn/macronix/pcn-10-037.pdf

it basically mentions/confirms it's an SPI/serial based 32Mb flash, 
dunno if that can help me find a pin-compatible chip :S

hello oliver

MX25L3206EPI-12G

that chip is not special at all and can be replaced by (almost?) any
25-series flash chip with the same package (300mil 8-PDIP) and voltage
rating (2.7 - 3.6V).
of course there are corner cases, but in general there should not be a
big problem with other vendors. if you have found an offer that suits
you, you could ask us again...
That is very interesting; I see conrad (http://www.conrad.nl) has loads of eeproms for about 1E for sale. I'd have to figure out details first, but things like EEPROM 25LC040/SN Microchip EEPROM 25LC256-I/SN Microchip EEPROM 25LC1024-I/SM Microchip etc etc seem like part nummers that should be what I'd want?
