I asked the vendor of the flashcat if devices could be added. I recieved a respose and also sent back a few follow up questions. I dont think an easy task, this is.

"Interface wise, the device is compatible with the NOR software. However, it seems the package to socket adapter would be the hardest part. For me to even find and make a compatible socket would probably be a thousand dollars, give or take. Also, its 1.8V nature, means it would have to be implemented for Mach1 CPLD logic code."
My question:

Thank you for the reply and for the added info.
I haven’t worked with CFI before, so I am just a little uncertain if you are saying that, not counting the no socket problem, software and hardware will read it? Or the CPLD part means you would have to write additional code...
For me a socket is no issue, as I regularly wire monolith USB/SD/MicroSD cards and read with NAND reader. I would be happy to make a breakout PCB, reball the chip and wire it even.
Purpose is data recovery from 2 separate (old) mobile phones.
In your opinion is it a project worth my while pursuing?

Logically, the XPORT programmer should be able to read/write to the NOR portion of the memory fine. However, unless I am mistaken, the IO logic is 1.8V, so 3.3v may possible damage it. If that is the case, you would have to wire in multiple level shifters. Mach1 CPLD is capable of 1.8v or 3.3v, but it does not have the NOR engine yet (just NAND, since that is what we are focusing on development wise). NOR will be added in the future.
