RE: alternative flash devices for the tini

The Macronix flash has the same programming interface as the AMD flash used
on the TINI board.  Hopefully I'll have more information later this week.
We are also starting work on a loader application that would execute from
the RAM of the micro and load other manufacturers flash memory.
