# System Update
If the system running ROMWBW utilizes the SST39SF040 Flash chip then it is possible to do a System Update in place of
a System Upgrade in some cases.
A System Update would involve only updating the BIOS, ROM applications and CP/M system.
A System Update may be more favorable than a System Upgrade in cases such as:
- Overwriting of the ROM drive is not desired.
- Space is unavailable to hold a full ROMWBW ROM.
- To mimimize time taken to transfer and flash a full ROM.
- Configuration changes are only minor and do not impact disk applications.
The ROMWBW build process generates a system upgrade file along with the normal ROM image and can be identified by the
extension ".upd". It will be 128Kb in size. In comparison the normal ROM image will have the extension ".rom" and be
512Kb or 1024Kb in size.
Transferring and flashing the System Update is accomplished in the same manner as described above in *Upgrading* with
the required difference being that the flash application needs to be directed to complete a partial flash using the
/p command line switch.
