Re:Atmel Data Flash

Most SPI EEPROM's need the write enable to be set, which is another command 
that must be shifted into the part before sending the WRITE command.  The 
enable may also be cleared on CS going high during the two commands.

Otherwise, nothing will happen.  Check the datasheet.

I forgot about the details, what i remembered with using this chip is
that we couldn;t manage to write directly (or was that read?). I mean,
we had to always use the buffer. But anyway this was already enough to
do all the things we need.

This dataflash is highly recommended :D (cheap and easy to use,
especially using C libraries available from Atmel AVR butterfly
libraries)
