<span class="firstterm">burn an EPROM</span>) To program a read-only
memory, e.g.: for use with an embedded system. This term arose because the
programming process for the Programmable Read-Only Memories (PROMs) that
preceded present-day Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memories (EPROMs)
involved intentionally blowing tiny electrical fuses on the chip. The
usage lives on (it's too vivid and expressive to discard) even though the
write process on EPROMs is nondestructive.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="blogrolling.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../B.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="blow-away.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">blogrolling </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> blow away</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
