Can the lower voltage flash roms be used in place of 5v roms

Ah. Too bad it's no longer in production. The Micron line still seems to be the best bet for in-production parts, but like I said, they are 5v-intolerant.

There's still a lot of them available, if you need some.

The 29F032 (popular with an adapter for SNES carts) should be 5V because the SNES is a 5V system. The adapters certainly don't have any level shifters or much of anything on them, so it must be 5V or 5V tolerant.

Yeah, the 29F chips are 5v parts. If you read the OP, that's what he's currently using.

[MottZilla]

Oh, then I misunderstood.. and don't understand, why's he worried about finding a new part? The 29F032 works and is pretty common.

In-production parts are easier to find, whereas the 29F032's are pretty hard to track down if you don't know where to look. They're also cheaper, even once you factor in the level translators. However, once you do that, the added complexity tends to outweigh the monetary savings.
