[MinnowBoard] Question about the Flyswatter2 and SPI flashing

Here (
http://elinux.org/Minnowboard:MinnowMax#SPI_Header_to_Firmware_flashing_J1),
the Flyswatter is "tested and verified to work" to flash the Minnowboard
Max by SPI.  I am not trying to flash Coreboot to the Minnowboard Max, but
I want some help using it to flash Coreboot to another board supported by
Coreboot, the Thinkpad T60 (
http://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/x60/Installation#Recovery_with_a_Hardware_Firmware_Flasher
).

>From the Flyswatter2 pinout (
https://www.tincantools.com/assets/Flyswatter2%20-%2020%20Pin%20JTAG%20Connector.pdf)
to the chip in the T60, an AT26DF161 (
http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc3599.pdf), from what I can figure, the
I believe that TDI goes into the SI, the TDO goes to the SO, the TCK goes
to the SCK, any GND goes to GND, and NC is not to be connected, but I do
not know how to connect CS, WP, and VCC to the Flyswatter2.

Please advise on how to proceed, I am aware that the BeagleBone Black was
used on the Libreboot page (http://libreboot.org/docs/install/bbb_setup.html)
but I want to know if there is a solution that doesn't involve risking this
board.
