These programs are used to read and write eeproms. Use eeprom for small eeproms with one-byte addresses: 24C01, 24C01A, 24C02, 24C04, 24C08, and 24C16 It works only on true i2c bus adapters. See README.eeprom for details. Use eepromer for large eeproms with two-byte addresses: 24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, and 24C512 It works only on true i2c bus adapters. See README.eepromer for details. Use eeprog for either small or large eeproms. Use the -16 switch for large eeproms. It works on both i2c and smbus bus adapters. See README.eeprog for details. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! ! !!! These programs should only be used on external busses such as i2c-pport ! !!! unless you REALLY know what you are doing. ! !!! ! !!! Your computer probably contains eeproms for saving data vital to its ! !!! operation. If you are not careful you might overwrite this data with ! !!! this program and your computer may no longer boot! ! !!! ! !!! An example are the EEPROMS on your SDRAM DIMMs, your computer may no ! !!! longer detect the RAM module rendering it essentially USELESS! ! !!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
