Flash memory
An erasable memory used as an alternative to hard disk and laser disc storage. The term is used most often in conjunction with PCMCIA cards. (See also Hard drive, RAM and PCMCIA)
A special type of EEPROM that can be erased and reprogrammed in blocks instead of one byte at a time. Many modern PCs have their BIOS stored on a flash memory chip so that it can easily be updated if necessary. Such a BIOS is sometimes called a flash BIOS. Flash memory is also popular in modems because it enables the modem manufacturer to support new protocols as they become standardized.
