Hello,
Can I just pop out the eeprom chip (2K) on the BS2 (OEM from Parallax) and use
.... say a larger one? 8K, 16K etc? Or when/or if it wears out am I stuck with
the same as what's in there now?

Richard

    Memory can not be expanded. The next step in the Stamp series which HAS more
    memory is effectively the BS-2SX. The BS-2SX is 8 x 2K bytes with each of the
    8 segments individually programmable up to the 2K limit for a total programming
    space of 16K (8 x 2).

    BS2E has the program slots also, and is not as power-hungry as the BS2SX --
    it does run slower though.
