Greetings,

It needs to be a firmware hub as far as I can tell. Those do come in 4 and
8MBIT PLCC versions. From a software standpoint, they behave the same as
any other flash part, it's just something in the electrical specs. SST
makes a compatible part (I can check the part number when I get in
tomorrow.

G'day,
sjames
