Duh. I don't know why I didn't think of that...Maybe got 73B on the brain.

Is the 873's EEPROM rated the same as external EEPROM for durability? Since
I'm primarily shuttling odometer values up there, I need to make sure I get
good read/write cycle endurance. Then again, since I'd be storing a 32 byte
value, I could move it around to different locations from time to time.

Thanks Michael.
