|  | 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. |

|  | !!! 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      ! |
