Would it be economical to include the parts along with the board, i.e. a kit rather than a finished product? I'd like a few for sure.
That's a consideration, and depending on how much I decide to invest by buying in quantity, I may be able to get the parts (mainly the connector and the IC) far cheaper than an individual just buying three or five. I've already used the 25VF032, so since I already have my software written for that, I bought 15 for myself, even though they're out of production now since the 2
6VF... line has taken over and the software to operate them would be slightly different. So far, I'm aware of the 4MB and 8MB ones, and I suppose denser ones are coming. Which ones are you interested in? I can supply the bare boards right now of course.
I suppose the male header could be left out since (unless they can be sourced in 2-way then) it would be labour to cut two positions off from a longer length. The jumper would be nice though. I have much more in the way of R/A 40-way male headers on hand than jumper blocks. I'd be interested in whatever's going for the chips. If there's 6502 code to drive them then that would be awesome, otherwise a data sheet will be fine since they can't be that different from other SPI flash memories that I've integrated with.

I'll look into getting a quantity of 10-position sockets. They'll be used for other SPI-10 modules anyway. So far for my own use however, I've just been cutting sections off longer socket strips and filing the ends down smooth and square, which again is fine for just a few for personal use but has been too labor-intensive to do in quantity.
If the price difference is negligible then would keyed sockets be preferable?
When you're cutting and filing, do you always lose one pin position to the cut? How do you make it square? I always end up with a bow in the end no matter how carefully I sand the end.
