8 bit computer, solution for the microcode

As I mentioned in this post, I was looking for a solution to program a couple of EEPROMs that are going to hold the microcode for my 8 bit computer. Using an Arduino Nano, I created a solution that also uses a python program on my MacBook. The Nano memory is way to small to hold all the microcode, so I needed an external storage solution. So the Nano is just being used as a programming device towards the EEPROMs, and the intelligence (of sorts) is in the python code.
