I have a old PDA board, it is not working, but I want to see the content of memory chip for this board, as far as I know there [might be] some interesting software on it, but the PCB is dead, so I thought, maybe I can re-solder the memory chip to USB compatible board (or any other way) to access the contents.
Is it possible, and maybe someone knows compatible device.
The chip is 63 BGA NAND flash K9F1208R0C-JIBO.
Here's the datasheet for it: http://pdf.datasheetarchive.com/indexerfiles/Datasheets-IS86/DSAH00528626.pdf

Since the board is dead and desoldering the device, applying balls and re-soldering to a controller etc. is a fair amount of work ... here is what I'd suggest.
1) leave the component on the board and remove most of the other components.
2) Solder on leads/wires to the pads from the controller /main interface device
3) Connect those wires to a small micro-processor of your choice.
4) Write some code to fiddle with the bits on the output and allow you to read the bits coming back in.
Chances are someone else has the code out there for you.
Make sure you operate the device at the correct voltage (this may limit your choice of micro-processor)
