OK, I have tested various similar ways but all fail to work.

Actually it is more like 14 bits (16 kbytes)

OK

I have two cases here, writing a single byte, which works and writing an array
of byte which does not work...
Everything else seems to work fine.
So I have been fiddling with this the whole evening and I am not getting it to
work the supposed way...
So I changed as a test to use the following code instead:
Source is a TBytes container, startaddress and addr are uint16
j := 0;
for i := 0 to Length(Source)-1 do
begin
addr := startaddress+i;
if not i2cMaster.WriteByteToReg(FEEPROMAddr, addr, source[i]) then break;
Inc(j);
Delay(10);//Delay(1) does not work...
end;
Writeln('Wrote ' + IntToStr(j) + 'bytes');
With this in place it works to write a TBytes data to the EEPROM but only 100
bytes/second.
But this does not work (nothing winds up into the EEPROM):
pSource := @source[0];
NumBytes := Length(source);
i2cMaster.WriteBytesToReg(FEEPROMAddr, startaddress, pSource, NumBytes)
This does not generate any errors but nothing winds up into the EEPROM...
Note: I have not changed anything inside the i2c.pas file...
