Nonvolatile RAM

Power Macintosh computers that support the PCI bus contain at least 8 KB of nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) . The NVRAM can be flash ROM, or RAM powered by the computer's local battery, so that it retains data between system startups. This section describes typical NVRAM configurations and discusses how you can store device properties in NVRAM.
