Nice, I'm just working on integrating new NAND MTD into U-Boot (based on
patch by Pantelis Antoniou), so perhaps we could join our effort.

Unfortunately I cannot access toby-churchill.co.uk site.
$ traceroute husaberg.toby-churchill.co.uk
traceroute: unknown host husaberg.toby-churchill.co.uk
It was working yesterday for short while, but now it's unaccessible
again.

Are you talking about yaffs/yaffs_mtdif2.c source file from yaffs2 CVS
module as found in :pserver:anonymous@cvs.aleph1.co.uk:/home/aleph1/cvs ?
