Well it looks like Intel is getting its way.....

"The technical workgroups within ONFI next plan to focus on increasing the bandwidth of flash memory interfaces, while seeking to simplify host controller design by providing a block abstraction capability — enabling the use of an even wider range of NAND flash components in many applications."

They want portability.....wonder in what manner they will accomplish this feat ....compared to e.Digitals methods of hardware independent  portability?

"In addition, ONFI plans to define a flash memory module, including a tailored module connector which will enable an industry standard, pluggable NAND module similar to a DRAM module used in computing platforms. This next-generation specification is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2007."

Way.. way... back ...I had considered that some day this would happen....good by ROM.

It's really sickening watching the industry chip away at us.

Got to hang tough...
