This is a flash memory from Intel. Intel StrataFlash(R). It is a 64Mbit (8Mb).

You can find the marketing embellished specs here: http://www.intel.com/design/flcomp/datashts/290667.htm Or short cut to the data sheet: ftp://download.intel.com/design/flcomp/datashts/29066720.pdf

There are other variants of this memory (28F256J3, 28F128J3, 28F640J3, 28F320J3), these are of different sizes, from 4Mb to 32Mb.

I don't fully recall (nor can find the specs), but I think that this is the same flash chip that is inside of the Agenda VR3.
