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.
