You wouldn't use a PIC chip for something like
this. A PIC would be
used in a microcontroller-type application, where program-controlled

A pic wouldn't be needed just to replace the rom... but I think it would be
a good choice to implement the RS232 interface and logic to download new
code to the NVRAM or EEPROM, when the contents were being changed.
