The those wondering, as I did, what a &quot;Glasgow device&quot; is, it&#x27;s not a broken bottle wielded by a strung-out heroin addict.<p>It&#x27;s actually a Glasgow Interface Explorer.

According to the datasheet this is a 512MB (4Gb) 34nm SLC flash, die code M60A. Introduced in the late 2000s and apparently was produced until ~2 years ago. SLC is the easiest to read in this &quot;ad-hoc&quot; fashion but note that newer MLC&#x2F;TLC&#x2F;QLC flash is quite prone to read-disturb errors and there may also be a scrambing algorithm applied to the data, so you&#x27;re likely to need knowledge of both that and the ECC format in order to recover the actual data stored; it&#x27;s somewhat astounding that random correctable bit errors are basically considered a &quot;normal&quot; occurrence for these newer parts, depending entirely on ECC to compensate for their unreliability.<p>Also, saying &quot;parallel NAND&quot; is like saying &quot;4-wheeled car&quot;. NAND flash with the standard parallel interface is the vast majority, found in basically every solid-state mass storage application.
