My concern is about how to make replacement RL02, RD53 or similar. Flash

Static RAM and a nicad?
If the interface is CF, which is just IDE, then I suppose it's possible to
just hook an IDE hard disk up instead. Maybe :-)
(I've often wondered if I can do this with my digital camera, and the camera
will automagically know how much storage it has - but I presume that because
the camera uses a FAT filesystem it'll get upset around the 500MB mark and
probably not recognise anything beyond that)
