I've been working on something similar but without any luck.  I'd like
to move my strings out of the '73A eprom and into an outboard EEPROM.
I am using C (duck and cover) in this project.  Can anyone demonstrate
with code snippets how this could be done?  To keep things generic,
assume that the functions WRITE_EEPROM(data,address) and
READ_EEPROM(address) perform the EEPROM I/O.

Any hints/tips are most welcome.

Thanks!
