hmmm - on http://www.epboard.com/ you can find a PLCC to DIP adapter.
i'd like to know if it is possible to use E32-0041 (PLCC-32 to DIP-32 IC Adapter) on a epia-m board with a MD2802-D08 doc (m-systems). it seems that these chips have capacities of 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 40, 72 MByte!!!

hi,
it seems that more and more boards are using PLCC chips instead of DIP chips. (http://www.ioss.com.tw/web/English/RD1BIOSSavior/SelectionChart.html)
if DIP is used you can replace the onboard bios chip (normally 2mbit) by a 8mbyte (64mbit) (m-systems md-2800-d08 or md-2802-d08) DIP chip. that way you have the possability to put the kernel and a small rootfs directly into the bios chip.
why cannot you do this if your board uses a PLCC chip? are there no PLCC chips with larger memory available? what types of PLCC chips are used? from which companies?
