   Sorry for the delay...

   The current driver _does not_ supports NAND chips of 2MB and  
64MB due to their addressing mechanism. I've been working on this 
last week and I will release a patch in the next few days...
   Also, there should be a problem with 8MB and 16MB nand chips 
because they have a larger erase block. My patch also corrects this.
   NOTE: This is not a problem with 8 or 16MB DiskOnChips! It's is a 
problem with whatever xxMB DiskOnChips that use 8 and 16MB 
nand chips! BTW, a 2MB DiskOnChip = one 2MB nand chip.
