Hardware/SEEPROM

The Hollywood package contains a 93C56 (or similar) SPI EEPROM, organized as 128 16-bit words. It is accessed by twiddling some of the Starlet GPIO lines. Most of the data here is written once at the factory and never changed, but some fields are updated fairly frequently.

KoreanKii modifies the SEEPROM to add or remove the Korean decryption key from the system.
