As far as I can tell this worked once with a card which had a 28-pin 
socket, but I added the missing pins (layout was though complete) so it 
had then 32-pin; AFAICT it only works with 32-pin because 28-pin flash 
chips are not compatible to the 28-pin eprom pinout.
I will check if I can get it working again with Realtek's flash writer 
from DOS, and one of my newer cards (f.e. Longshine) which came with 
32-pin socket; have somewhere an ATMEL and also a SST laying around 
which should be good for this (the only two chip manufacturers which are 
supported by the Realtek writer).

thanks also for the posted code, will then take a look once I know for 
sure I have a card where it works with :)

Gün.
