The term "flashing", more appropriately termed "FLASHing", comes directly from the memory chip technology, FLASH memory. This is a very fast read, very fast write, non-volatile memory technology. Earlier EEPROM technology was very fast read, very slow write, non-volatile. The still earlier EPROM technology was not programmable or writable, except in a special programming device. It was very fast read, however. The "27" series chips are usually EPROMs. The "28" series chips are usually EEPROMs. The "29" series chips are usually FLASHes. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
