Whats flash memory, which is used in SmartMedia?
Flash memory is an electrically rewritable type of memory that can retain data without battery power. SmartMedia is mounted with a NAND type of flash memory developed by Toshiba mainly for file data storage. This memory is called NAND-type for its serial arrangement of memory cells. By contrast, the other main type of flash memory, the ‘NOR’ method, has the memory cells arranged in parallel.
