I looked at these devices a while ago an they don't look too hard to support. Though last time I looked at the code they weren't supported. They are simple like most flash devices. I haven't double checked but they may support the standard intel flash command set from the software side, in which all that is needed is to write a mapping driver. > > Is this device supported?
