Excellent.  That allows me to compare pinouts with existing flash
cards.  For example, an Intel type I card from
http://www.pretec.com/ftp/Data-Sheet/Flash%20S-I-DataSheet.pdf
appears to have the same pinout if you do a transformation as to how
you've numbered the pins:

Your pin  datasheet
1           1
3           2
5           3
etc

And 4MB flash cards from http://www.timasci.com/linear.htm go for the
order of $50 (a bit variable with type, and I can't work out whether they
sell the right type).  So if you wanted a flash writer could be knocked up
fairly easily...
