I am afraid this can not solve the problem.
The HY27UT088G2M whose id_data[2] is 0x14 DOES not follow your code.
Please check the datasheet of HY27UT088G2M. ( I ever emailed to you.)

The same issue exits in H627UW08CGFM too.

yes, we can add this.

ok. I can use the 448 as the default.

I hope you send it out as soon as possible. :)

ok, no problem.
