Responding to: ???'s previous message
...OR Is it possible that I can write to an external "EEPROM" using MOVX instruction.


Yes, this is possible. If you use AT28C256, for instance, you will have EEPROM storage of 32KBytes. Address it as you would address a static RAM, means choose 'memory mapping', where !RD and !WR lines are used to control the read and write sequences.

AT28C256, and similar types, have a nice feature: 'Software write protection', which makes data losses during brown-out events extremly unprobable.

One point, which must not be forgotten is, that EEPROMs need several milliseconds to perform a write sequence (burn period). If this is lasting too long for your application, then a static CMOS RAM with battery backup should be used. At Dallas website you will find modules already containing SRAM and battery. A bit expensive, though...
