I'm trying to determine whether or not we can easily write to the 2 MB ROM. I picture placing a linux kernel and a cramfs on it for a diskless MP3 player.

Anyhow, I think I've been able to figure out how some of the ROM is wired, but I'm not getting the results I expect.

Can I get someone to perform a test for me?

First, download uniflash 1.30 from http://www.pppr.sk/rainbow/download/uf130.zip This version is important. It has a fix related to specification of a base address.

Then, from DOS, execute the commands:
I2C 88 22 0
I2C 88 21 80

Finally, execute uniflash with the following command:
uniflash -base 800000

Is uniflash able to recognize the flash on your unit?

Thanks,

I think I figured out why uniflash is not identifying the chip.

The chip is hardwired in word mode and uniflash (at least by default) attempts to access in byte mode.

I'll see if uniflash either supports a word mode or can be easily modified to do so.
