Re: Rom

origional term is Read only memory, this was before the advent of firmware when software was embedded into the chips and there was no altering the information pre-written to them. firmware functions in a similar fashion in that it is read only most of the time, but there are methods to erase and re-write now.

Re: Rom

The actual acronym is Read-Only-Memory. Differs from RAM (random-access-memory)

With rom you dont write to it constantly back and forth whereas you do with ram.
