let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. SPI flashes are eeproms that have a SPI interface. so Spansion's S25FLxxxx, ST's m25pxtmels AT45DBxxxx, Winbond's W25Xxx/W25Pxx, and such. they need to be erased before writing, are split up into some unit size, etc... all SPI flashes nowadays conform to the JEDEC standard (JEP106) which allows for querying of manufacturer/device ids so that they can be dynamically detected. sounds to me like "eeprom" is the correct interface for utilizing these devices. -mike
