PROM. Both EEPROM and
Flash ROM
can be re-programmed by electronic
signals, but the interface technology is different. Size of EEPROM is much smaller than flash ROM,
AOpen motherboard uses EEPROM for jumper-less and battery-less design.

Traditional motherboard stores BIOS code in EPROM. EPROM can only be erased by ultra-violet
(UV) light. If BIOS has to be upgraded, you need to remove EPROM from motherboard, clear by
UV light, re-program, and then insert back.

EV6 Bus in the technology of Alpha processor from Digital Equipment Corporation. EV6 bus uses
both rising and falling clock edge to transfer data, similar as DDR SDRAM or ATA/66 IDE bus.
EV6 Bus Speed = CPU external bus clock x 2.
For example, 200 MHz EV6 bus is actually using 100 MHz external bus clock, but the equivalent
speed is 200 MHz.
