What is Read Only Memory (ROM)?
The Read-Only Memory (ROM) is part of the main memory that holds manufacturers’ instructions, which assists the Central Processor in performing special operations.
These operations include telling the CPU what to do when the power is turned on, checking to see that the cables to the printer and the monitor are well connected, and interpreting the meaning of each key on the keyboard.
It is a non-volatile memory that stores information permanently, even when the power is turned off.
