Well it has been a year since I wrote that driver.... so I checked the SC400 
Register Set Manual..

The simple way is to use MMS Window A which is 32k bytes wide with a fixed
address range of B0000-B7FFFh (Pg. 3-40).

This is of course assuming the Flash devices are wired to their own select
line which is the norm on their (AMD) reference board. 

I suppose you could can also use the PC Card A or B memory space. That is
not what they (AMD) do on their reference board.
