You can use any 8bit wide eeprom. If you can't find a 2k*8bit, then you can
use a bigger or smaller one (so long as what your storing in it will fit).

If you go to somewhere like www.partminer.com, you can get a program that will
do a search of a dozen or so suppliers and one of them is bound to have one.

I have a datasheet for a XICOR eeprom X28C64. This is a 8K*8bit eeprom and is
pin compatible with the 2K part, it just uses a larger chunk of the address
space (if you connect the higher address lines).

Go to http://www.ideal.net.au/chipdir/ for a pritty good directory of parts
and suppliers. Then go to a supplier's page and get the datasheet.
