Hi Stefan,

Thanks for a prompt reply.

Thanks for the hint. I've looked at these boards, and I cannot see 
what's wrong with my configuration.
Since second chip is properly detected, I think configuration is 
correct. Read also works, only erase
and program fail. Looks like a hardware problem to me.

OK, I'll send the patch.
