I just looked into the datasheet and you seem to be right. I have never used
this flash in byte mode, but the "older" 8bit flash's (AM29F040...) are
using the addresses 0x0555 and 0x02aa as unlock addresses as well. This
seems to work on the AM29LVxxx devices since its implemented this way.

Error in datasheet? I don't really think so. Now I am confused...

Best regards,
Stefan.
