Someone asked what the difference between flash and eeprom really was...  I
expected a flury of responses, but there haven't been any so far, so I'll
take a shot at it.  As I understand it, the underlying technolgies are
pretty substantially different (with flash being similar to eeprom
technology, and EEPROM being more similar to RAM technology, I think.)
However, the END USER difference is usually that EEPROM is erasable and
re-writable on a byte-by-byte basis, while FLASH is only bulk erasable.
I guess by labling the program memory "flash", a manufacturer does not
have to provide byte erasability that my be difficult from any number
of non-technology perspectives.
