That's about how I did it too, except I didn't guess right the first =20
time; I "guessed" incorrectly that the "16" in the first line might =20
mean it was a 16k rather than 128k part, and looked at one of those =20
first.  The description of the part markings was really close, so I =20
knew I was on the right track, and I tried a 128k part next (you SAID =20
it should be a a 25128...)

I wouldn't normally have guessed the "5DB L" indicated the part =20
number, but the ATML was a pretty solid pointer to Atmel.  =20
Fortunately, Atmel did have part marking info in their datasheets!
