What kind of FLASH do you recomend ?

Questions on flash and cfi and "cfi-sort of" keep being posted and I don't think the answers really help anyone. If cfi-compliance doesn't mean what is says, and Altera is not going to recommend anything other than the hard to get parts on the development boards, what to do?

After a first time success with AM29LV065MU112REI, I've become very nervous about a board turn we're about to do where I need to use larger flash but don't want to risk a problem. I want to go to 64Mbytes and up without using lots of parts.

My suggestion is that members post the part numbers of flash devices thay have used and found to work without problems with the Altera HAL and Cyclone. Problem parts, or at parts that have "unresolved issues" could also be posted.

Once collated, I think that would save a lot of time for many people, we could all dip into a pool of lower-risk options. Not guaranteed, but a head start.
