You can use the same modifications, indeed. Because both chips are pin
compatible I don't think there is any other way.
BTW, Ajax can also be used with 32 MHz clock rate. That means that it's
possible to use ED drives with it. Of course you need some hardware for
this, but it should be nearly the same that you need with HD drives.
