It is not responsible... it IS the flash chip ;) But according to this change notification it might not be true: http://smartdata.usbid.com/datasheets/usbid/2000/2000-q3/d1014230.pdf No idea which SST chip they used... but i guess both should be supported by flashrom.

Someone with more knowledge about FWH than me has to look at it. It would certainly help if we would know which flash chip is really inside it... -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
