Do WHAT?  I don't remember the original posting but I would imagine the
RAM is used to store transient information such as station presets and
perhaps volume settings.  A ROM? be serious,  you can have any color you
like so long as it's blue, and volume you want so long as it's 5 any
station you want if you can get them to move to 101.2 :-)
