Is there any kind of interface for the PC that will read directly from EEPROM chip? For example, if I get an external EEPROM chip and have PIC gather data on it. Then just simple take the EEPROM chip without the PIC and transfer the data to my PC. > > The basic idea is that I want to use PIC to gather data and store it in > > memory for later retrieval into the computer.
