Magic.  Any technology that's sufficiently advanced...
or in layman's term: stuff manufacturers won't tell you.

Because there are differences between how the two are implemented.
Simply put if you program a 16V8A as a 16V8, it won't do what you
intented to do.  Beyond that I am not supposed to say more.

The Jedec fuse map for the different parts are available in Data books.
In fact the Elektor article (April issue) is almost enough to get you
start programming 16V8 & 20V8 (not the A parts however).  Every single
sentence there is vital info.   Be sure to read it 4 or 5 times.
