ROM is Read Only Memory. Normally, data is fabricated into the ROM chips by the semiconductor manufacturer. Special mask(s) have to be made to store this data.
Besides ROM chips there are PROM chips, where P stands for Programmable. In these chips, data can be stored by the end user. EPROM is Erasable PROM. A new type of ROM is OTP ROM (One Time Programmable).

This is a permanent storage device, usually a chip or an optical disk.
Depending on the device, it is written to once, and then is read-only
There are some variations, including PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) and EPROM (Erasable Programmable read only memory)

What are Programs stored on rom chips are called?
Programs stored on ROM chips are called firmware. The motherboard stores the keyboard controller support program on the ROM chip.
How do rom and rom chips used in an micrwave oven?
A microwave oven according to the invention have one-chip microprocessors including a ROM, a RAM and an I/O port. In the ROM a permanent program for controlling the RAM, a data input unit and a display unit is stored. Data is coupled from the data input unit and stored in the RAM according to the permanent program.
Data and instructions are stored on special ROM chips on the board and are called?
You might be talking about the BIOS, the Basic Input Output System stored on a ROM chip on the Computer Mainboard. It is the initial boot code run by the pc.
What are Memory chips that store permanent data and instructions- the data cannot be modified?
chips with memories are worrying. don't eat them or they will lose their memory!
What kind of data is likely to be stored in ROM?
Movies, music
Where is data stored permanently?
In the computing world, permanent data is stored in ROM (Read Only Memory).
Why does a computer system need ROM?
Rom is a non-volatile memory. A computer system needs it because it stores the data permanently. If there is no ROM the data can be stored only until the system is on. Once the system is off, all the data stored in RAM(volatile memory) will be lost. So, ROM is used to store the data for a desired period of time.
How much data can be stored in CD-ROM disk?
roughly 700MB
How many layers of data can be stored on one side of BD-ROM?
2
On newer computers how do you usually change the data stored in CMOS?
By accessing the setup program stored in ROM BIOS.
Why would ROM chips be good to put in toys?
ROM chips are found not only in computers; many appliances and even toys contain ROM chips. toys contain ROM chips.
Why rom is non volatile memory?
ROM is involatile because its name means Read Only Memory, hinting that the data stored on it cannot be altered. The word involatile means long term and not changeable.
