It is interesting that the Table 1 Operating Modes referenced above on
page 5-43 says that the Manufacturer ID is 89H for UV erasable Cerdip
parts, and 88H for OTP Plastic parts.

The interesting thing is that previously Intel data books (e.g.
1983_Memory_Component_Handbook.pdf, page 4-28) said "All identifiers
for manufacturer and device codes will possess odd parity, with the
MSB (D7) defined as the parity bit". The Manufacturer ID of 88H does
not have odd parity. I don't know if the odd parity requirement was
removed, or if this is an exception.
