I think a lot of these devices operate differently from what the
manufacturer's datasheet says.  Then there are different revisions,
which may not be documented.

Yes thanks for stating it that way.  When I commented about Uniflash, I
meant to say the coding style was old.  But it works!  It is mature
code, and like devbios, it contains working code dealing with hardware
quirks.  I beat my head against the wall trying to get an Atmel AT29C040
to ID, using their datasheet.  Then I looked at Uniflash and devbios,
did what they did, and it worked, just nowhere near how the spec said.

It would be nice however to have both working, and modern code.  Ron,
can you elaborate more on the problems you have with MTD?
