Hardware and software were obvious, but I always thought that firmware was
software in a PROM. I have however heard quite a few engineers/managers/head-
hunters refer to it as any software, whether or not it was in RAM or ROM,
that "runs the machine", whether it was a copier or a motor controller or a
disk drive...whatever.
