Non-volatile RAM

Non-volatile RAM can be used as a means of dramatically storing and retrieving runtime application data. NOVRAM has the following specifications:

!32 pin

!128K bytes maximum in segments D0000 and E0000

!Must be programmed in place on the Little Board/486e CPU

!NOVRAM offers some advantages over Flash EPROM including faster access speeds and unlimited write operations.
