MEMORY
The KAYPRO stores data by means of:
•
ROM (Read Only Memory)
•
RAM (Random Access Memory)
•
diskettes
ROM is the smallest portion of memory. ROM contains permanent programs and
information most frequently used.
RAM holds 64 kilobytes (65,535 bytes) of information. RAM can be read from and
written to. The data in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off, so any pro-
gram or data stored in RAM has to be saved onto a diskette.
