Oh dear, how did I get sucked into this one? EPROM is Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory - erased by UV light (you uncover the top
of the chip and shine UV light on it.), high intensity, not low
intenisty x-rays, not used in current consumer products if anywhere.
EEPROM is Electrically Erasable PROM, a later development now used all
over the place in consumer goods 'cause it holds the memory contents
without power, but can be erased when needed by the circuitry.

Not that I know anything, but isn't compact FLASH, ah, FLASH EEPROM?
Static
RAM would require current to keep the content.
DRAM (Dynamic Ram) requires current to keep state. SRAM (Static Ram) does
not. Thus the word "static". (No sarcasm intended and should not be read
as such, but as and explaination)
EEPROM's are static also, but can be erased by UV bombardment....
