Usually, flash parts are faster, so better suited to the task.

Loader roms:
You may be able to get by with that on loader roms. I've never found
eproms that were functional & pin compatible. What ones did you use for the
1K variety?

Microcode:
I doubt seriously the eproms would be stable for microcode. HP specs 5ns
speed parts for the microcode; what eproms work and can hit those speeds? I
suspect this is one of those "might seem to work" but is a really bad idea.

As Jay points out, it is the access speed required by the device you are substituting the EPROM for a ROM/PROM that counts. In some cases the 100 to 400ns access speed of EPROMs won't matter (clock of under 1mHz for 400ns 2716s to around 4mHz for 100ns EPROMs), but if you are running 10mHz or faster reads then I suspect you will have problems unless you find faster devices than EPROMs for your substitute ROM/PROM...
