But an EEPROM is an EPROM.

But if you look at any parts catalog, then looking for "EPROM" will get you parts that are "_not_ EEPROMs".

So, "EPROM" implies "it's not an EEPROM".

There is nothing "in the rules" that EPROM must be something that is UV-eraseable, or something that may not be electrically eraseable.

The rule is there, but it's unwritten. If you mean "EEPROM", write "EEPROM", if you mean a part that's explicitly not (easily) electrically erasable, write "EPROM".

Of course, it would be a marketing blunder to sell an EEPROM chip under the EPROM description, since people would assume that it would not support ISP and IAP reprogramming.

Exactly. And things that are sold under the EPROM description are commonly assumed to function as PROMs or even ROMs once they are in the device - erasing them requires more effort than just sending over the erase command.

MOVX doesn't work for writing.            01/01/70 00:00

            That wouldn't be an EEPROM.            01/01/70 00:00      
            Look at Ferro-electric memory            01/01/70 00:00      
         Not wrong.            01/01/70 00:00      
            An EEPROM is an EPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
               Technically, but not in common usage of the term.            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Common use != Definition            01/01/70 00:00      
               Not quite ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  No, it's not            01/01/70 00:00      
                  A datasheet that actually calls it a "UVEPROM"            01/01/70 00:00      
                     OK ... I stand corrected ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        A link with EPROM <= EEPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Not that generic!            01/01/70 00:00

                           it is SERIAL EEPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                              UVEPROM?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 I think a part number would be the solution            01/01/70 00:00

                  You missed the point!            01/01/70 00:00
