I have the BX35 running nicely with the Basicx supplied AT25256-27PC EEprom. I would like to source a less expensive chip. The -27PC does not appear on any of the major supplier sites or even the Atmel site ! Will the at25256-10PC/PI work. The -10PC indicates a faster responding chip to the -27PC ?? It would seem therefore that it should be fine ? Thank You for any comments

Thus an AT25256-10PI has an operating range of 4.5 - 5.5 VDC. I use this with the BX35 and have had no problems. The AT25256-10PI-2.7 operates from 2.7 to 5.5 VDC. Useful if the Atmel processor and other circuitry will operate at voltages appreciably lower than 5.0 VDC which I doubt. Peter H Anderson http://www.phanderson.com/basicx/
