Why not do this:

void Terminal_eepromreadset(unsigned char set, unsigned char data[4])
{
    //Consolidate this on verify that it works!!!
    unsigned int address = set * 4;
    data[0] = EEPROM_Read(address);
    data[1] = EEPROM_Read(address + 1);
    data[2] = EEPROM_Read(address + 2);
    data[3] = EEPROM_Read(address + 3);
}

Note that this is the same as:

void Terminal_eepromreadset(unsigned char set, unsigned char *data)

version1 is a 'char'. Terminal_eepromreadset wants a char*. To convert a char to a char *, you use the addressof operator (&):

Terminal_eepromreadset(0, &version1,.....)

Alternately, you can use my suggestion:

unsigned char version[4];
Terminal_eepromreadset(0, version);

In C, an array and a pointer are mostly equivalent. version is a char*, version[N] is a char.

Confusing as dirt?
