bs2 serial clock out

I am trying to get my BS2 homework board to read and write to an EEPROM chip. FYI: the chip is part number XLS93C46P. Problem is, it has a serial clock in pin. Does the BS2 have a clock output option of some sort?

    Yes.
    With SHIFTOUT one pin is declared for the data out and one for clock.
    If the device can't work with the SHIFTOUT regime then you'll have to bit-bang it.

    Chitty Chitty Bit Bang?

    Thank you. But as it turns out that the data I need to send to the chip is not listed in the datasheet. :(

    ...the data I need to send to the chip is not listed in the datasheet.

    The instruction set is listed on page 3 (2-77)

    It's not a clinic, it's a datasheet.

    Maybe you should look for an I2C eeprom, there are PBasic examples to follow for those.

    I didn't read the entire data sheet but it looks like you should be able to use SHIFTIN and SHIFTOUT like most SPI devices. Read in the PBasic help files about those two commands.

    I'm attaching a short program I wrote some years ago to demonstrate using serial (SPI) FRAM from Ramtron. It's not a drop in for your eeprom, yours is a 16 bit device, not 8, and the op codes are different but maybe it will get you started.

    Now I'm playing with it. I think I have cleared it's memory. I have stored the value as x. How do I see if x has any data in it?
