Swordfish already includes a module to read and write data to a 24LC640 EEPROM - see the sample samples folder. However, this little bit of code strips away the various module layers so you can see how it's done. It should be very easy to modify and add new functionality.

The following code implements a WaitFor() routine. This is very useful if you want to (a) wait until writes are enabled on the device and (b) wait for write completion. The latter call is very useful and removes the need for an explicit delay after each write. The code also implements an Available() function, which checks to see if the SPI EEPROM is ready to receive commands or not.
