As long as the OE/Vpp pin does not go significantly above 5V, you won't accidentally erase or program the part. To erase or program it, you have to take OE/Vpp more than twice that voltage. The truth table is on page 7, and shows that to read, OE/Vpp and CE must both be low. If either one is high, the device won't try to put data out on the bus. However, if CE is kept low, the device will take more power-supply current; so if that's important to you, you'll want to make sure CE is high in bus cycles in which you're not reading it but rather addressing something else, whether RAM or I/O.
What happens when I pull OE/VPP to ground? Is that going to destroy the chip? And what happens when there is no voltage going into that pin?
From what I understood, it should be connected to +5v so it won't erase the Program data, so should I tie it to +5V, Ground or leave it alone entirely?
