4. The readthedocs.io (https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master/en/flash/) is dated and the links are broken.

How/why is it dated? Which links are broken? Feel free to create issues on our GitHub issues list but make sure you understand that the documentation you read should match the firmware you use (I suspect that's the issue here). 'master' branch != 'dev' branch and http://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master != http://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/dev.

I'll post: 2A-ESP8266IOT_SDK_User_ManualEN_v1.5.pdf, Chapter 6 from http://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master/en/flash/ is dead and the addessses for esp_init_data_default.bin (dated) needs to include 8MB and 16MB as in 0x7FC000 and 0xFFC000. My WeMos Mini Pro will get here, one day...
Update: I visited the github and found where to enter bugs and requests for enhancements but is a dead link and outdated tables a bug?

I'm game: where is the 'dev' branch?

We mean the NodeMCU dev branch.

LOL: there is 100 Github (now that it works) repositories, the NodeMCU that I used to download the flash tool has one branch, nothing listed as changed in over a year.

I FOUND IT!
https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flas ... 64/Release
Shows 8MB and 16MB on the drop-down for flash size now.

That's because the firmware master branch doesn't support >4MB well.

is a dead link and outdated tables a bug?

Yes, because the docs are part of the code repository. See https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firm ... n/flash.md.

Also, keep in mind how NodeMCU firmware releases come about: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware#releases
