I hadn't noticed the loss of that .string. I know that oEEPROM
accepts .string, so you could "spoof" the system and call the device a
oEEPROM object and turn off the increment. Then try using .String on
that object. Another way you could do this would be to use the oBuffer
object, set that to a string and access the individual bytes by index.
Caveat, I've not tried this yet, but it should work.
