M50FW080 replacement

[Joseph Smith]

Hello,
I have someone that is looking for a good replacement for the ST M50FW080.
Looks like ST is not manufacturing them any more. The requirements for this
replacement needs to be a PLCC32 Intel Compatable FWH. Any recomendations?

[Karl-Heinz Nirschl]

have a look at the sst website.
SST49LF080
SST49LF008

cheers,

Note that this is not a FWH part and thus is not compatible. It only
understands LPC memory cycles so it can't be used in Intel or other
FWH-configured systems.

This one will work.
The full part number is SST49LF008A-33-4C-NHE

Another option is Winbond W39V080FCPZ

Or you can get an RD1-FWH8 BIOS savior which will also have a
compatible flash chip.

Numonyx (former ST) and Spansion (former AMD) have both dropped LPC
flash, for our uses they only have SPI now. (And both mention 64Mbit
as well as 128Mbit SPI chips on their web page now. :)
