Greetings Erik Maas,
EM>As far as I know a write action does not set bit's from '0' to
>'1'. If this is the way I think it is ..., it is not RAM.
My remark "New Flash == Slow RAM" isn't about internal technology,
but only to suggest that Flash can be as easy to use as SRAM for
nonvolatile storage. My point is that "complex" algorithms aren't
needed for all Flash devices.
Simple deblocking routines can make the page-mode transparent to
applications, and make use of Flash burst-mode transfers. Flash
does have the drawback of slower writes, and a limited lifetime
of write-cycles.
Atmel also refers to their Flash technology as Programmable/Erasable
ROM, or just PEROM.
Cheers,
