Would like opinion on best method for user to update EEPROM
Archiver

I have an application using the BS2p where info is stored in the
EEPROM. I want to give the user the ability to update this info once
a year. I have been trying to think of the best way to do this. I
could have them send it in and I could reprogram the stamp, or I
would like to do something like send them a CD and they could
download the info to the stamp. I obviously would have to write a
program to send the info to the stamp and have the stamp update its
own info as apposed to reprogramming the stamp. I was thinking about
using the Dallas 1 wire USB device, because it is a small connector,
and send the info to the stamp over USB. I need a small connector
because I have the stamp and all housed in a small hand held closure.
Using RS-232 would be easier but the connector is to big, unless
there are small RS-232 connectors out there, but I dont think there
are. Any suggestions?
