the 8bytes id data read out by the READ ID command is in the following 
order:
    byte 0(Maker id): such as 0x98 stands for Toshiba, 0xec stands for 
Samsung.
    byte 1(device id):
    byte 2(used to store the chip number,cell type information):
    byte 3(used to store the page size, block size information)
    byte 4(used to store the Plane information).
    ........................


The current code uses the @id to store the device id(byte 1).
But if we use the 8 bytes id data as the keyword, and expand the @id 
field to 8byte array,
the device id is the second byte now. All the added zeros are for the 
Maker id.
For example,
     {"SmartMedia 256MiB 3,3V",      {0, 0x71}, 512, 256, 0x4000 },

We really do not use the zeros. All the zeros are added for avoiding the 
misunderstanding.
If we do not add the zero, it will looks like:

      {"SmartMedia 256MiB 3,3V",      {0x71}, 512, 256, 0x4000 },

The device id (0x71) becomes the first byte of 8byte id array, people will treat the 0x71 as the Maker code.


thanks
