Another feature of the Alto was that it was microcode-programmable by users.

This is essentially what microcode achieves when a hardware platform changes internally.

- Firmware: (computer science) coded instructions that are stored permanently in read-only memory
- Microcode is a layer of hardware-level instructions and/or data structures involved in the implementation of higher level machine code instructions in many computers and other processors; it resides in a special high-speed memory and translates machine instructions into sequences of detailed ...
- The elementary computer instructions that correspond to an executable program instruction. [FIPS140] (see also computer, program, code, cryptographic module)
- Extremely low-level logic which is typically used to translate between the binary instruction set of a microprocessor, such as an X86, and the underlying hardware implementation. Which would have nothing to do with DRM, except that in some cases such microcode can be maliciously hacked. ...
- Microcode, also known as microprogram, refers to the instruction set of a CPU as a sequence of microcode instructions (microinstructions), each of which typically consists of a number of bit fields and the address of the next micro-instruction to execute. ...
- Computer code which implements the machine language of a computer.
