Flash chip size is measured in bits. Your 1Mbyte chip is 8Mbit. You could get Macronix 8Mbit: MX25L8005PC-15G 16Mbit: MX25L1605DPI-12G 32Mbit: MX25L3205DPI-12G Winbond 8Mbit: W25X80VDAIZ 8Mbit: W25X80AVAIZ These are actually legacy part numbers, they have new produts but there are too many PDFs for me to list them all here. Check out http://www.winbond.com.tw/hq/enu/ProductAndSales/ProductLines/FlashMemory/SerialFlash/ for the full list. bios-repair.co.uk/bios/eeprom.htm sells some of these, not the 32Mbit, but they're a bit expensive. On the other hand they have stock, don't mind selling single quantity and they ship right away. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
