READ ONLY MEMORY (ROM)
This is a special
section of memory that contains instructions which are activated each
time the computer is turned on. These instructions are set at the factory
and cannot be changed - thus, they can only be "read", not
written to. ROM instructions perform equipment checks and initialization of the computer prior to each use.
