Thankyou for mantioning this on the piclist! I love this chip! No write delay is lovely! I've already ordered samples to test, and if all goes well, Microchip's eeproms get replaced in my upcoming communications-controller :-) KreAture ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douglas Wood" To: Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 8:34 PM Subject: Re: [PIC]: Looking for SPI RAM to replace SPI EEProm > Bob, > > I am not familar with any SPI RAM devices, but I would like to suggest SPI > FRAMs. Look at www.ramtron.com. > > Douglas Wood > Software Engineer > dbwood@kc.rr.com > ICQ#: 143841506 > > Home of the EPICIS Development System for the PIC > http://epicis.piclist.com > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robert E.
