I am thinking you are correct. I sat down with the specs for the eeprom
(24C01C) and determined all the minimum times, equiv cycles, etc. I found a
posting to the PICLIST that looks like it has all the same cycles and times
as I determined, so I will see how it works. It was made for a different
memory and micro... so there's minor changes to be made.

At least I can use the pins I reserved to do manual I2C.
