this maybe not just a nand chip, it may stands for a class of nand chips.
Toshiba may uses this device id, Micron may also uses it.

In other word, this item may stands for many nand chips.

Please see the http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/nand-data/nanddata.html
The ST's NAND08GW3B2C and Numonyx's NAND08GW3F2B share the same device 
id but with the
different oob size.
