I take it you have both? If its just laying about see if you can load the data you want... if check sum ok then proceed?

I dont have the flash chip but was thinking of getting one instead of UV erasing each time.

Until an expert chimes in I'm gonna keep guessing.

If the only diff is in how the data is cleared but the pinouts, data addresses, etc are the same then I cant see why it wouldnt.

If cheap and easy to get I would try! But thats just me.
