The 257 EEPROMs have a _VPP_ pin that needs a constant 12V during programming. Unlike the newer 28C EEPROMs, these chips do not automatically erase before writing to a location. Instead, the entire chip is erased by applying 14V to _VPP_ and _A9_ and then pulsing _CE_. To erase the chip, assert the voltages on _VPP_ and _A9_ and then issue the _Erase_ command from the terminal.
Unlike the 257 chips, the W27C512 does not have a dedicated pin for the programming voltage and instead uses the 12V on _OE_ pin to place the chip in programming mode. The verify operation requires that the _OE_ pin be switched to _LOW_ and there is no hardware support for this, so the current code supports the 512 chip by doing a single write cycle with no verify.

Because the chips use a constant high voltage for programming instead of a pulse, an external power supply and two diodes can be used to supply either 5V or 12V to the pins for programming and erasing.

The Silicon Storage SST27SF0x0 are programmed similarly to the 27C257 in that a constant
voltage is applied for program and erase operations. Unlike the 27C257, these have a
dedicated WE pin that controls programming and erasing. Another difference is that they
do not have a verify operation to read back the programmed data.
