Hi Jim. I think you've done plenty! Great stuff. Sometimes you don't see issues one off. They show up statistically because a part has different tolerances and you only see the corner case sometimes. Chances are low that there is a lurking issue. Youve shown it works once so.. Probably ok. But given all the installed devices are using am29f800 one now does not have the benefit of all that user time if one were to use the different part.
A conservative position would be to use the original parts and benefit from the history. I have been reluctant to make any changes to the hardware for that reason.. if a problem shows up..was it the flash or the software? For example. Next best... compare the datasheets line by line and decide if the differences are important. In this case...does it matter? Probably not. It is a hobby. Good to know another part works!!!!!!! I myself having only am29f800 would never have found out.
