Preferably an erasable and reprogrammable memory is provided in the computing unit.

The address memory 12 may be an EPROM or some other erasable programmable-read-only-memory.

The non-volatile signature memory is designed for example as an electrically erasable programmable memory (EEPROM).

Memory 104 is an erasable nonvolatile memory, e.g., a flash EPROM memory.

The article entitled "16K EEPROM Relies on Tunneling for Byte-Erasable Program Storage" by Johnson, Kuhn, Renninger and Perelegos, Electronics, Feb. 28, 1980, describes an electrically erasable memory in which the memory cell field is formed of memory cells disposed in matrix form. The cells have memory transistors of the floating gate type with gate connections (control gate of the memory cell) connected together line by line to a control line, as well as selection transistors with gate connections (selection gate of the memory cell) connected together line by line to a selection line.

The circuit arrangement according to claim 32, characterized in that the program journal storage device is an erasable read/write memory storage (RAM, EEPROM).

It is also substantially more favorable to provide erasable, non-volatile memories in the digital exchange unit VME by buffering erasable volatile memories, for instance.

In addition, however, a local processor unit CPU, a volatile, erasable memory RAM, a non-erasable, non-volatile memory ROM, and an erasable, non-volatile memory E2 PROM are also provided.

An erasable magneto-optical memory of an essentially amorphous and/or essentially micro-crystalline magneto-optical storage material is disclosed in, for example, DE-PS 23 40 475.

This furnishes the very important advantage for the practical useof erasable magneto-optical memories that they operate with reproducible accuracy also over long periods of use.

In this case, too, the memory unit 73 is executed in known technology and, for example, can be realized with most one-chip microprocessors, whereby an electrically programmable and erasable memory is used as a data memory.

If it is possible to repair faulty circuit components 2 on the base plate 1, for example by means of laser beams, the result memory 6 will be in the form of an erasable programmable memory (EPROM) which is erased after the completed repair and employed to store the results of a new test.

However, if the entire memory space available in a device is required for the main program which determines the device functions in operation, it is also possible before the use in operation of the device, to store the test control data instead of the main program if an erasable memory, for instance an EROM is provided.

It is possible to use a nonerasable read-only memory ROM, and an erasable nonvolatile memory in the form of an EPROM, in particular another flash EPROM may also be used.

In general, it can be taken into consideration that the data memory or the second memory portion is configured as an electrically erasable programmable memory (EEPROM) or that the data memory or the first memory portion is configured as a read-only memory (ROM) or as an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM).

Stationary electrically erasable memories on a silicon base with memory capacities of 106 bit/cm2 and movable magnetically erasable memories (such as a band, plate, or drum) of 107 bit/cm2 are presently commercially in use.

The data carrier is formed by an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory which has a large storage capacity.

A portable off-line electronic loading device for reading in postage rates via an interface connector coupled to a programmable memory of a franking device for calculating franking values on the basis of a weight input, comprising: a device casing; and a programmable and erasable memory (EPROM) enclosed in the device casing for receiving and storing valid postage rates, the device casing being provided with a connector for connecting to the interface connector of the franking device for transferring the valid postage rates stored in the programmable and erasable memory of the electronic loading device to the programmable memory of the franking device.

Furthermore, the transponder comprises a controller 44 and a programmable and deletable memory 46 (an EEPROM).

In accordance with another feature of the invention both memories 1 and 19 for the key code word are embodied by EEPROMs (electrically erasable programmable memories).

For the present invention, especially electrically erasable memories of this kind, i.e., so-called E2 PROM memories, are of particular interest.

With internal programming, a set of user programs and/or data may be loaded from a data memory described above such as memory 108 in the form of ROM into volatile memory 105 and/or into erasable nonvolatile memory 104 and optionally executed there.

If identifier K is invalid and thus the program is incapable of running, the operating system may automatically be called up for programming, in particular the boot block, in a nonvolatile nonerasable memory such as memory 108 in the form of a ROM or in a nonerasable part of flash EPROM memory 104 itself, and then the system waits for reprogramming.

A numerically controlled writing instrument is equipped with a carriage, movable on a writing plane, with drives for a stylus which converts the path information to writing movements, in which the control of the device is equipped with a unit for programming of self-defined characters and symbols by the user in a memory (RAM) which transfers the characters into an additional, electrically recordable and erasable memory which is connected with the control of the device from where the characters are available and can be called up for reading or writing.
