My personal plan was to use an I2c EEPROM as a sort of ram disk -- reading data in and out of it into
variables in the calculator with a zshell program. The plan is to allow you to transfer any program from the
EEPROM into the calculator and vice versa. I also wanted to make a run-from-eeprom feature that would link in
a program, run it, link it back (so that high scores, etc. are saved) and then free the memory on the
calculator.
i2c chips simply ignore any non-i2c data on the bus, so you could make a pass-thru for the link.
Any suggestions?
