Am I the only one that finds the Erase Block part of the API Call Summary confusing?


You might quite well be the only who attempts to use the Erase Block at all... As said multiple times, the T89C51Rx2/AT89C51yx2 don't need erasing at all.

Why is there a "program one data byte" in the middle of that section?

Why shouldn't be?

Much of the IAP API is simply taken over from Philips verbatim (you can see traces of it in the Temic documents), as Temic came out with the 'RD2 later and they wanted to capture some of the Philips customers.
