I still had no luck with flashrom. I tried both chips on another computer
now, same results. I also tried a PLCC chip (AM29F040B-120JC) on a third
computer, same result too (0xFF for all queries).

This seems really strange - could it be that the chips are not only
"empty" but also do not have an ID hardcoded in them? I.e. is it
possible that the 0xFF is actually correct? If so, I could skip the
vendor ID check and just try/force writing, maybe...


Cheers, Uwe.
