THere is another company that has the 128k chips.  Atmel only has 64k for $3.

I totally messed up that message above.  Atmel isn't the company I meant to
say...  I'll have to remember which one I wanted to say...

It requires power and 2 wires.  :)  If you want more than one chip (you can
have up to 4 on a bus) then you have to use 1 extra wire.  :)

Go to atmel's www page...

The EII is already done.  :/  There are much cheeper sources of memory than
the one bryan chose.  I just think that if the chips firmware was released,
maybe we wouldn't focus on I2C memory...  I don't want to see the EII die
out, but it will if there is no community support.  Calc driver release was
a start, but only a start.
