Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-mtd-admin@lists.infradead.org Errors-To: linux-mtd-admin@lists.infradead.org List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Linux MTD discussion mailing list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I'm currently hacking an embedded system to put Linux on it and need to replace the original boot ROM with a compatible flash chip. I've found quite a few replacement candidates. All these chips are, however, very hard to obtain in relatively small quantities from distributors. The chip I need is a 16Mbit 90ns 3V 44-pin SOIC (or SOP or PSOP, depending on how you want to call them) in top boot configuration. This corresponds to the AM29LV160DT-90SC from AMD and the M29W160BT-90M1 from ST, but there are many others. Does anyone have any idea where I could find such chips in small quantities (less than 5)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
