From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory          (EPROM) A type of storage device in which the data       is determined by electrical charge stored in an isolated       ("floating") {MOS} {transistor} {gate}.   The isolation is good       enough to retain the charge almost indefinitely (more than ten       years) without an external power supply.   The EPROM is       programmed by "injecting" charge into the floating gate, using       a technique based on the tunnel effect.   This requires higher       voltage than in normal operation (usually 12V - 25V).   The       floating gate can be discharged by applying ultraviolet light       to the chip's surface through a quartz window in the package,       erasing the memory contents and allowing the chip to be       reprogrammed.          (1995-04-22)
