I'm not sure if I'm missunderstanding here...

Is that the write routine in the *PIC* ?

I guess that the actual write inside the EEPROM
is "self-timed" and you have to either wait (with
some margin) or try to access the device (it will
probably not answer until the self-timed write
is completed) before powering off.

B.t.w, this acual case (saving data on power loss)
is an perfect application for a RAMTRON device
due to it's very fast write time (writes at full
SPI speed with no waits at all).
