Add Dominik Brodowski, who seems to have worked on this driver.

The reader/writer is an Elan P423 PCI card. I've had to set the VPP voltage to 12 to get it to write. The read speeds are very quick (can copy out 20mb in less than a minute) but the writes are taking way too long. I've tried both with dd and with the flashcp utility. Any insights would be appreciated.
