Mostly, indeed. There are a couple of differences, though, the most
important being that the address sequence as 555, 2AA, 555 instead of
AAA, 555, AAA. Then there are a couple of other differences as well,
such as when reading the product code, and the fact that the block
layout is uniform. There may have been some other things as well, but I
don't quite remember.
