can't find one.

The official JEDEC ID list can be found for a price at:

OK, the web page at http://www.jedec.org/Home/MIDCODE_request.cfm implies 
you have to pay, but notice the link at the top. You don't have to pay. 
You can't redistribute the document. You can get an ID for $200.

This whole thing is really weird and so annoying I'm tempted to set up a 
page and let people tell me vendor IDs they get from data sheets so that 
you can easily find this stuff.

I found all those. Can you believe, no where in all these docs is there a 
simple mapping of flash 8-bit vendor it to vendor name? it's incredible!

There's a pretty big list in my devbios driver
( get it from www.freiburg.linux.de/OpenBIOS/ )
It's in the file flashchips.c

Take a look at drivers/mtd/chips/jedec_probe.c in the mtd cvs tree. 
Or in a recent 2.4.x kernel.

Why do you need one anyway?

I had seen that, it is a fairly (i.e. incomplete) abbreviated list. It is
really amazing how many flash vendors there are. Some programmers tout
support for over 8000 parts.

There are way more vendors than are documented in those files.

Trying to track down a part given an ID, and realizing that there are not
really good lists of vendors out there, I think in part because of JEDEC
policy on the vendor ID list.
