MX25L1605DM2I-12G with Buspirate

Hey guys,

at first thanks for your help and for giving some more information on the
website.

To answer your questions, I am using the Bus Pirate probe kit
to connect the buspirate to chip. But I need to solder it at the chip
because the test clips are too big for this chip size. It is a 8-SOP
(200mil) form factor.

I want to try your solution but there is just one point which is not really
clear. Could you please tell me the names of PIN 3, 7 and 8 in your
description.

In my case it would mean:
PIN 3:  5V
PIN 7:  CLK
PIN 8:  MOSI

But CLK + MOSI to WP# and 5V + CLK to VCC makes not really sense to me. I
guess your Pins are different to mine.

Please let me know and I will try it.

Thanks and regards,
Daniel
