Software stored in read-only memory (ROM) or programmable
ROM (PROM). Easier to change than hardware but harder than
software stored on disk. Firmware is often responsible for
the behaviour of a system when it is first switched on. A
typical example would be a "monitor" program in a
microcomputer which loads the full operating system from
disk or from a network and then passes control to it.
