I have another question about Flash Cards. How do they work??? I know (I
think) that a SRAM/RAM stores information by electricly charging millions
of mini capacitors and those capacitors need power to hold there charge.
And I think I understand how ROM works. Its info that is permanently
burned into an IC chip right? But what about flash? Is it an IC Chip that
info can be burned into over and over? I dont understand how it can keep
data with no power (its solid state right?).
