Well, you are wright and I was wrong. But I have an excuse because I'd just 
came from a party that time... :-)) But still the device died well before the 
requested abount of wata was written :-))

In fact, as I've tried to play with it today I see that 1GB of data (64 
blocks) kills the device with 100% probability. I've tried to write 4 
16Mb-blocks and it worked 2 times out 3. Then I've tried 1 block and it also 
died randomly, but quite a bit less frequently (say 1 of 10 times).

With regard to differencies in behaviour between the GL devices -- it might be 
a consequence of differencies in the exact chip models and/or firmware 
versions. My device identifies itself as 
"P:  Vendor=05e3 ProdID=0702 Rev= 0.02"

On the chip reads: 
GL811E
0341MH2QT-02

Btw, what about getting in contact with Genesys Logic and asking for a 
datashit or support of some sort? Did anybody ever tried that?

Regards,
Max
