The BIOS is also simply a piece of software, stored
in a chip on the mainboard.
In memory, a program's bits are represented by the voltages of
transistors in particular places on a DRAM chip. On a CD, by the
width of pits in the surface of the CD. In chips like BIOS and other
types of
If you want to know more details about how a processor
access data in memory, how address bus and data bus
works, how a processor is built up from transistor
functions, I strongly recommend that you buy a good
beginners book of processor design.
Do you have any recommendations?
