[stella] WTD: A ROM for testing AVox/SaveKey EEPROM functionality

After successfully adding the Speakjet portion to the AVox emulation for 
Stella, I've now moved on to the EEPROM stuff.  I have some EEPROM I2C 
code that is supposed to do the job, but it's not working for me.  What 
I'm wondering is, does anybody have a ROM that can test EEPROM 
read/write functionality?

I already have several ROMs that do that, but I really don't know how 
they work.  For example, in Man Goes Down, the EEPROM is used for the 
highscore table.  But I don't know *how* it's using the EEPROM.

Ideally, I'd like a simple test ROM that lets one store certain values, 
and then be able to read them back again.  But more importantly, I'd 
like to know exactly what the ROM is doing, so I can trace it and 
determine if the errors are in emulation, 'connection' to the EEPROM, 
or the EEPROM code itself.  Right now there are too many variables.

Something similar to the nifty timer check bin that seagtgruff just 
posted would be great :)

Once this is complete, AtariVox and SaveKey support will be ready for 
the next release of Stella.

Thanks,
Steve
