3. Types of ROM:
* ROM
* PROM
* EPROM
* EEPROM
1. ROM:
* ROM is called a non volatile memory
*Read only memory refers to special memory in a computer with pre recorded data at
Manufacturing time which can not be modified.
2. PROM:
* PROM is called a non volatile memory
*PROM retains their contents even when the computer is turned off.
3. EPROM:
* EPROM is called a non volatile memory
*EPROM contents can be erased using ultraviolet rays.
4. EEPROM:
* EPROM is called a non volatile memory
* EEPROM contents can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Distributed operating system:
Distributed operating system is used to access shared data and files that reside in any
machine around the world using internet/ intranet.
Advantage:
* User at one location can make use of all the resources available at another location
* Many resources can be added easily in the network.
* Improve the interaction with customer and client.
* Reduces the load on the host computer.
