Only AMD. My datasheet for the AM29LV320D says the vendor-specific extended
query table version is 1.1 and includes bootloc (AMD pub #23579 Rev A, p23).
If the datasheets for other chips say v1.0 and omit bootloc, then that's
good enough, isn't it?

That means you're depending on the contents of a byte which is not defined. 
If it's off the end of the v1.0 table, it doesn't have to be zero in all 
cases. It's theoretically safer to look for the version number first, and 
only read bootloc if it's at least v1.1.

But I don't care enough to argue :) As long as it works, it's OK by me.
