(edit)

These are just some points - simply moving a chip because the dimensions match says nothing about their interoperability. It'd be NICE, but keep in mind that embedded devices aren't as standardized as PC memory, where the end-user is actually responsible for their own memory upgrades (usually anyway.) Therefore, it makes it a lot more difficult, in the long run, to make embedded device parts interchangeable, and leaves us SOL because the manufacturer chose one part over another.
Nice write up, I wouldn't have had the patience. Are you an EE APOLAUF? In a former life I use to design integrated circuits (PMOS, NMOS, and CMOS) and do digital hardware design.
