Solution (By Examveda Team)

ROM is an acronym for Read-Only Memory. It refers to computer memory chips containing permanent or semi-permanent data. Unlike RAM, ROM is non-volatile; even after you turn off your computer, the contents of ROM will remain. Almost every computer comes with a small amount of ROM containing the boot firmware.

    ROM (Read Only Memory):

    It is programmed at the time of manufacturing.

    The data written into ROM is permanent and cannot be changed or erased.

    It stores firmware, i.e., permanent instructions required for the basic functioning of a computer (like the BIOS).

    PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory):

    Blank when manufactured.

    Later, the user can program it only once using a special device.

    EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM):

    Can be erased (by UV light) and reprogrammed multiple times.

    RAM (Random Access Memory):

    Volatile memory used for temporary storage.

    A more specific answer would be MROM (masked ROM), an early type of ROM programmed at the time of its manufacture.

    The difference between a PROM and a ROM (read-only memory) is that a PROM is manufactured as blank memory, whereas a ROM is programmed during the manufacturing process. To write data onto a PROM chip, you need a special device called a PROM programmer or PROM burner.
