RE: sorry!Another question about flash!

I don't suppose you have though of writing your own flash driver for your
custom hardware and I did this the other day there is nothing to it.  I now
have Intel Strata flash working in Linux 2.2.14 kernel using block mode
writes very fast if it helps I could send it to you but the block write bit
is for our custom hardware so it may not work for you.

	Check the mtd code. It allready supports 28F320 (16 bit 4Mb).

	No. Check the mtd code. It can work with PCMCIA and ftl but they are
not
	necessary.

	I am using the mtd for 28F320 for a homegrown board, no pcmcia, no
ftl.
	Check the FLAGADM configuration in mtd.

	K.D.
