Ah, good find, and that reinforces my current impression that the modern usage is that EEPROM offers byte-wise erase. (I'd actually been to that page and several of the linked ones, and upvoted the answers, but entirely forgotten them.)

EEPROM(2) - EPROM which can be erased electrically and also rewritten byte-wise.
That's not quite accurate; all the EPROMs (and even PROMs) I've met can be "written" bytewise, so long as what you're writing doesn't try to change any 0 bits to 1 bits; it's been able to
erase byte-wise (i.e., set a single byte to $FF) that seems to be the discriminator here (and would make your "EEPROM(1)" not EEPROM in that use of the terminology.
(BTW, if there's a mod about, and the software supports it, this message and the six preceeding it may want to be moved to a new thread. I hadn't realized this would be so involved....)
