[flashrom] Help sourcing flash chip W25Q25BV in PDIP8 package.

[Svetoslav Trochev]

Oh... no. I can't believe how stupid I sounded in my previous e-mail.
Sorry. Of course it is W25W32BV chip. I will take a look of amic chips
you suggested. I am very rusty in C programming, but I will try.

Thank you,
Svetoslav Trochev
