Take that up with the people that wrote the definitions - I did not create the definitions. Technically, write-able firmware is not firmware (read the definitions of the word).

Semantics again. When I updated my Macintosh Cube to be able to use OSX, lo these many years ago, I had to download and execute a program that updated my FIRMWARE before I could install OSX.0. Did this program go in and pull out a ROM and replace it with another chip?

Some of the data on Firmware may be simple jump tables... read a location, jump to a memory locations. That is not data used as "software" but data used as "information" by another piece of software. It is perfectly possible for this data to be actually hardwired in the hardware.

This is pointless. We have you spending a large amount of time trying to explain how smart you think you are (yet you make very ill-informed comments about computer technology) - and we have the troll Petronski sniping from the sidelines and spewing insults all the while too chicken to actually take a position.

I will leave you to your circle jerk.
