I see they sell eprom chips, will these add more memory and how would they need to be connected?

    Not really.

    The BoeBot comes with a BS2 which has 2K of program memory which cannot be expanded. It is possible to attach other EEPROMs to I/O pins, but it's not the same as the built-in memory and isn't treated the same. Typically this is done for datalogging purposes.

    There are other Stamp models that come with more EEPROM like the BS2p/pe/px which come with 16K or 32K of EEPROM, but it's organized into 2K "slots". You don't just get more memory for your program and the limit for program slots is 8 (x 2K = 16K). The other 16K on the BS2pe is used for datalogging only. You can't use it for programs.
