#110772 - EPROM, EEPROM, and flash
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Sasha Jevtic said:
... raises the question why the original poster requests EEPROM instead of flash.

"EEPROM" stands for "Electrically-Eraseable PROM" so, taking those words literally, Flash can indeed be described as "EEPROM"!

In the same way, "RAM" stands for "Random-Access Memory" and again, taking those words literally, Flash can indeed be described as "RAM"!

The trouble is, those terms have taken on specific interpretations that no longer directly reflect their literal meanings!
