Sorry, no news from me yet, I hardly have time to check my email this week.
I have been offered a batch of SST25LF040A brand new unprogrammed for US $3 each. If this a good price and a way to go?
Fairly good price, depending on how many a batch is? 30-or so pieces could go for $3, but you probably want to look for 25LF080A instead then to get more room. Maybe there's a 16Mbit version too.
the chips go up to 32mbit with 50mhz to 75/85mhz and 8 pins, but i wasn't able to find them in europe until now. 64mbit are only available with 16 pins.
farnell has an sst chip with right pin position, speed (50mhz) and 16mb in its store. which cost's about 3€.
16Mbit Chip: SST25VF016B-50-4I-S2AF
Do not order a lot of SST chips, they are much more difficult to support with the current flashrom architecture. You could order one and check if they support the RDID instruction (data sheet is silent about RDID), but I have no idea if they do.
I now found a SST data sheet (not easily found on the official web site) that talks about RDID, so adding support for it should be possible.
