The other thread is getting long, and I'd thought I should write a quick summary of what's involved.

27C322 eprom for IC22
MX26L6420MC-90 flash for the rest. I got mine off ali-express, I paid 30USD shipped for 20 pieces that came in tape and looked all new - but had some Sanyo stuff on them. Probably some factory-programmed left-over stock.

Any chance you could try burning an mx26 with a known good flash rom in your possession, using the adp-019 adapter? @snakeGrave. seems like you were right at the point of having it figured out.
