Hi folks,
Well, I finally got myself a Linuxbios supported board (an EPIA ME-6000). Later tonight I'm going to order a flash from Mouser to swap out, but before I do, I have a few questions:
On board is a PLCC form factor 39SF020A. Mouser also carries the 39SF040A, which is a 512k ROM. The pinouts seem to be the same, but I'm not sure whether the extra address lines are carried out anywhere. Does anyone know whether the EPIA will be able to use the extra 256k?
Don't know, but would like to know so please post your success/failure back to the list
Also, I was not planning on getting a BIOS savior. Does anyone have experience with hotswapping flashes on the EPIA? Will bad things happen if I do? Do I need to make myself an external board with chip select lines, or can I just hotswap?
I've hotswapped it with a little PLCC puller probably 50 something times, not a problem yet.
