Hi,
sorry for delay, still busy...
Today I tested flashrom on my PC (P31/ICH7) with my SPI prog & Macronix 
MX25L1605 chip.
It seems to work OK but noticably slower than my SPIPGM. E.g. reading is 
guess 2x longer but
erase was extremely long ~3min vs 10sec. Well I use chip erase 
instruction to do it fastest
as possible and flashrom probably erase sector by sector... Also it 
would be good to add
some progress indicator (it's stupid when looking at "wait..." message 
several minutes and
tempting to hit ctrl-c/reset :)

flashrom v0.9.2-r1039 on MS-DOS 7 (i686), built with libpci 3.1.5, GCC 
4.3.2, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OS timer resolution is 50000 usecs, 3178M 
loops per second, 10 myus = 0 us, 100 myus = 0 us, 1000 myus = 0 us, 
10000 myus = 0 us, 200000 myus = 220000 us, OK.
