Hey!  That's a familiar number... I think that's the one we use.  RTC and
256 bytes of battery-backed RAM, right?  I've got code to talk to it, and
even calculate the year from the limited information it gives (day of week,
day of month, month, bottom two bits of the year).  But it's all in Z80,
and technically it's not mine - it belongs to my employer.  I'll see if I
can translate it into 6502 for you.

Once you've got the software and hardware to talk to I2C devices, you can
put as many as you like on there - there's all sorts of interesting chips
available.
