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 !
!!! longer detect the RAM module rendering it essentially USELESS! !
