>I'm sorry but Ann is wrong hear. The braille note has three types of memory, >ram, flash, and rom. Ram is what the braille note uses when it runs. It >stores the data needed to run the programs such as word processor. When ever >the battary runs out, everything stored in it is erased. Nothing should be >stored in this memory unless it is nothing but temporary. Rom or read only >memory is never accessed by the user. I believe Ann was getting flash and >rom confused. Rom or read only memory contains an origional non corrupted >version of keysoft. The user can not do anything to what is in rom. The >version of keysoft burned into rom can not be removed from the unit unless >the rom is physically dammaged. Rom contains its data even if the battary >runs out. Flash memory also contains its data even if the battary runs out. >The difference though is that the user can write to flash memory and it is >where documents should be stored. >In summary >Ram is not something you should store any documents unless you absolutely >don't care if they get lost. It is what the braille note uses for its >operation, and the user doesn't need to be worried about what is in it. >Rom is never tuched by the user. It contains a version of keysoft that can >be roled back to in case the current version gets corrupted. >Flash memory is what all your documents should be stored in. It contains its >data when the battary runs out. It is the only memory the user can save data >on where that data is safe if the battary runs out. If the battary runs out >then anything saved in ram, which is the keysoft system disk will be lost. >Anything saved on the flash disk will be safe if the battary runs out, and >you can't save anything on rom even if you want.
