Thanks to
 
 henderso@netcom.com, markh@wimsey.bc.ca (Mark Henderson)
 pj@carmenta.se ( Per Åkesson)

for sending their code fragments which reads, and as I understand,
can modify, eeprom contents. Mark's code seems to be posted to
comp.sources.unix, although I could not figure out how to retrieve it
from there.
