serial EEPROMs ... cannot be used as ... data memory.

Of course they can!

You just can't access them with MOVX

If not relying on an overly strict definition of "data memory", Andy's statement is in fact completely true.

Absolutely: mine is a completely generic definition - it is not at all strict!

I am simply taking the words "data" and "memory" literally - without any implied 8051-speicifc or other meanings.

Thus a serial EEPROM can, obviously, be used as a "memory" in which to store "data" - in other words, it can be used as a "data memory" in the generic, non-specifc sense.
