I have here a similar device
http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?product=23K256

Will try to test it with the PI this weekend.

I also have the following devices here:

(I2C) http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?product=MCP23008

(SPI)(I2C) http://www.newhavendisplay.com/nhd0216k3zflgbwv3-p-5738.html

It does look interesting.

Nice. By the way, currently the BSP does not recognize (or I have missed 
it) which raspberry Pi version it is running on, and as new peripherals 
are added to the BSP it becomes important to have that info. For 
instance, the I2C interface on the P1 GPIO header uses different pin 
numbers for model A and model B/B+.
