'''EPROM''' stands for '''Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory'''. These chips are usually in a ceramic package with a small glass window that allows you to see the chip die. The purpose of this window is to allow erasure of the [[ROM]] by ultraviolet light so it may be reburned with other data such as a later build of a game to allow it to run on a normal host console rather than a development system. | '''EPROM''' stands for '''Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory'''.
