Yes, EEproms are storage, nothing else. But that is not what you meant....Turn it anyway you want..,.
Due to censorship, I changed this to "Nelly the Elephant". Keeps the message clear.

[I assumed that program code is provided via an external memory chip and the 1K flash memory on the chip is for storing program data, but it seems there's some extra RAM for that.

My RS08s have 2K of flash memory and 63 bytes of RAM -- and that's it for program and data. And basically only five I/O pins so not much chance of expansion.  But those limitations were part of the MCU's charm.  How much can you do with so very little  :)  I built a capacitance meter with it that reported its measurements in Morse code (1 bit I/O!).  Totally useless really, but a lot of fun.
