Oh, as for being PROM vs ROM, I'm just going by the way things are listed in the ref.
It lists different 27Sxx devices under PROM vs ROM,
for example 27S180, 27S181 are 1024*8 listed under PROM, but 27S80, 27S81, 27S82, 27S83 are 1024*8 listed under ROM.
It's possible they're mis-listed of course, but manufacturers often did make equivalent devices as both fusible and mask,
I don't know what AMD did for series names in that regard.
