I see.  The only data sheet I had handy lists 24c01A parts,
which *do* have address pins, not marked as NC ("No Connect").
But I see the 24c01 is as you describe, though it's "not for
new designs".

And I'm a bit puzzled how the SOT23-5 package for the 24c01B
parts will be addressed ... those signals aren't pinned out
there (couldn't be!), and the address doesn't appear to be an
option which is exposed in the part number.
