Yes, FLASH is one type of EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read Only
Memory).  FLASH can be correctly described as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory), however I think there are some trademark
restrictions on FLASH (not totally sure) whereas EEPROM is a generic term.
Sort of like "Kleenex" versus "facial tissue" (again, I'm not totally sure
about this).
