Hi,
I am curious if there is possibility to replace BIOS on FLASH by the same BIOS on EPROM or EEPROM if they have same (similar) pinout layout and same or higher capacity? Let's say DIP32 package.
I could find on internet just comparison between ROM types and maybe few questions about replacing (E)EPROM by FLASH ROM but not vice versa.
For example SST39SF040 (4Mbit) and M27C4001 (also 4Mbit). I was looking on datasheets for both ROMs and their pinout looks almost the same (VCC, Ground, Data, Address). Only pins 1 and 31 are different (AD18, WE vs VPP, A18).

Does anybody tried that or it's completely impossible to do it?
