  ==============================================================================
              ##### Logbook Header (TOC) #####
  ==============================================================================
  [..] Memory useage:
	NEW: Spansion S25FS-S256S
	
			only 8x 4KB and 1x 32KB, remaining is 64KB or 256KB
			Sector Size (kbyte) Sector Count Sector Range Address Range (Byte Address) Notes
			 4   8	SA00  00000000h-00000FFFh

								: 						:
							SA519 01FF0000h-01FFFFFFh			
	OLD:
				1kB each header
				with predive header at beginning
				and postdive header with 0x400 HEADER2OFFSET
				4kB (one erase) has two dives with 4 headers total
				total of 512 kB (with 256 header ids (8 bit))
				Size is 280 Byte (as of 25.Nov. 2014)

	[..] Output to PC / UART is postdive header

	[..] Block Protection Lock-Down is to erase logbook only

	[..] Timing (see page 137 of LOGBOOK_V3_S25FS-S_00-271247.pdf
				bulk erase is 2 minutes typ., 6 minutes max.
