Then you will have to figure out how they are arranged. It is likely that
they are arranged such that the FLASH is 32 Bits wide. So it could be two
banks of four chips in 8-Bit mode or 4 banks of two chips in 16-Bit mode.

That hugely affects how they will be programmed.

Why don't you give ALL the Information you have found out so far? This
messaging goes on for days, and every exchange seems to pull out some more
info out of your nose....
