There must ne some strange fascination about the FADS port. I  really
wonder  why  everybody  is  picking  one  of the most complicated and
poroblematic ports...

Pleas ehave a loot at least at some other drivers, too.

SO look for other flash drivers, or maybe even for  the  generic  CFI
driver.

Forget what the FADS is doing. Think about what is  needed  for  your
own hardware, and implement this.
