Anyway, I don't understand why we need a database. I think a wiki page would be perfect.
OK then never mind, I don't have time to write the same thing on three different pages, If I need a compatible chip I will just ask the mailing list.
Here's what I'm imagining a table would look like (these values are probably wrong):
*PLCC:* | SST 49LF004 | 512K | 3.3V | | Winbond W39V080A | 1024K | 3.3V | | PMC 49LF004 | 512K | 3.3V |
* Yellow: FWH Blue: FWH Green: LPC/FWH
The mainboard page lists the flash part, say SST49LF004, and that's a link to the PLCC table. It may also say something along the lines of "only supports up to 2Mb/512K flash parts." To cross reference, you find a chip of the same voltage and color in the table, or a "green" chip should work for either FWH or LPC. Where's the data duplication?
