Tom,

I have a case under debugging where I need to use i2c write to devices. 
One device (EEPROM) has two-byte address length and most others 
(including other EEPROMs) have one byte address length. I also have 
other non-storage devices but I wouldn't use "i2c write" because "i2c 
mw" will be sufficient. eeprom command has its limitation for the case 
of variable device address and variable address length.
