I tired but performance was not acceptable.

I see your point but please understand, what I'm trying to do here is not to 
develop a shiny general purpose fully GPIO based NAND driver, I'm trying to 
resolve issues with NAND driver for Amstrad Delta I like to play with, without 
loosing much performance.

I'm going to reconsider all possible options, not only doing data I/O over 
GPIO inside the driver, to have the task completed.  Once done,  I can get 
back to the GPIO based code I developed so far and create a new generic driver 
as my free time permits, or anyone can do that if needed, the code is open 
source after all. 

Thanks,
Janusz
