 We've received a shipment of boards containing possible "second sourcing"
 parts from Quanta, and I've been testing them.  The first board I've tried
 with an "SST" flash part has failed olpcwrite's verify:
 {{{
 Verifying flash
 Sector 0x00010000
 Sector 0x00020000
 0x00020000: Expected 0x5d Got 0x7f
 Verify FAILED
 -bash-3.1#
 }}}
 The full serial console log is available at:

 http://pullcord.laptop.org/second_sourcing/board10/olpc.html

 Although the verify fails, the board appears to boot okay afterwards.  The
 board came shipped to us from Quanta already running LB, rather than
 Insyde.  The board is labelled "SST 25VF080B flash", and has PSC RAM.
