Hi
If you look in the data sheet for the I2C device, you will probably find that
bits 1-3 of that "fixed" address can be altered in the device start address,
also tied corresponsingly high or low at the chip end.  This will give up to
eight addressable i2c devices. This is certainly true of the MChip 24LCxxx
EEPROM chips - you can have up to eigth of them on the same bus - no
muxing required.
Hope that helps
