The unerasable PROM (USFR) register contains two bits that disable external fetches of data and instructions and another that detects a failed oscillator. These bits can be programmed, but cannot be erased.

WARNING: These bits can be programmed, but can never be erased. Programming these bits makes dynamic failure analysis impossible. For this reason, devices with programmed UPROM bits cannot be returned to Intel for failure analysis.

Disable External Instruction Fetch

 

 

Setting this bit prevents the bus controller from executing external

 

 

instruction fetches. Any attempt to load an external address initiates a

 

 

reset.

Disable External Data Fetch

 

 

Setting this bit prevents the bus controller from executing external data

 

 

reads and writes. Any attempt to access data through the bus controller

 

 

initiates a reset.
