Hello all,
First thanks to Uwe for nic3com support and to Mats Erik (IIRC) for helping with (or atleast pointing out the lack of) 3C905B support - i just tested a SST 29EE010 on an 3C905B-TXNM that had been useless for a while - works :)
Anyways, does anyone know how big flash chips these 3com's support? The SST i tested is 128k - i can propably (given time) test 256k also, but just curious.
Not that I have a 905B, but: http://www.hollants.com/pxerom_3c905.html http://www.infracity.de/pxe/ http://www.shikadi.net/hwwiki/Flash_chips
And also, if i plan on using this for "hotflashing" a chip from another box to do my various hacks, it would be very much indeed too easy to accidentally write flashrom -w <file> instead of flashrom -p nic3com -w <file> . I'm not 100% sure whether this is a good idea (some might find it annoying), but i suggest that in case of "flashrom -w" or "flashrom -E" it would ask for sure, eg. "This will erase/write your INTERNAL flash chip. Are you sure (y/n)?". If given flashrom -p internal -w (or -E) it would not ask (for scripting).
