Carl-Daniel, I don't just want to fix this for "instant
gratification". I needs to be a perminant solution. I have alot of
people waiting to beta-test the RCA RM4100 coreboot bios and work on
the tv-out, but we need to get flashrom working for a fallback/updates
first. I can test it with the "instant gratification" method but how
to incorperate this into jedec.c so it doesn't interfear with other
chips that use jedec.c???
Thanks - Joe
