An external I2C EEPROM was the easiest form of storage for me to get, so I used that. It unfortunately made things much more complicated but at the time it was the only solution. Of course if I were to do it again I would have chosen the 18F452 (or similar) part, it would have negated the need of the external EEPROM.
