Anyone using mtd on NAND flash? (Was: The archives [looking for info on AM29LV640 flash])

 I've just been across the hall to strangle our hardware engineer (who
happens to also be my boss). He /intended/ to use the AM29LV640 part but had
problems finding a reliable source for them so we're using Samsungs KM29U128
part instead.

 There's no mention of CFI in the .pdf file I've got but I've detected the
KM29U128 chip using:

read_ID() /*pseudo_code*/ {
	const ReadID_cmd = 0x90;

	ready_chip();
	chip_enable();
	cmd_latch_enable();
	outportb(DATA, ReadID_cmd);	/*Read ID command */
	cmd_latch_disable();
	addr_latch_enable();
	outportb(DATA, 0x00);		/*1st address cycle */
	addr_latch_disable();

	m_code = inportb(DATA);		/* Reading 2 byte data */
	d_code = inportb(DATA);

	return (m_code << 8) | d_code;
}

 Which doesn't have much similarity to the cfi_probe.c:cfi_probe_new_chip()
function so I guess they're not CFI compliant chips; Why is that?
