Acquiring Flash Parts

[Nathanael Noblet]

Hello,
    I have an EPIA 800. I would like to start with linux bios on this 
machine. Unfortunately, they only sell the flash parts in rails of 30. 
at 2.70 a piece we're not talking a passive investment. Wondering two 
things. Can I use a different part. If so, how do I find out, and which 
ones would work? Are there places I can order in fewer quantities? Does 
anyone else with an EPIA board have a different flash part then me (SST 
39SF020A 70-4C-NH)? What parts are they using etc...

How worried should I be, could I just flash it with linux bios? what is 
the likelyhood that I'd have problems?

Thanks,
