ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to software downloading by use of a storage medium. If a semiconductor memory has been loaded when the power is turned on, the CPU determines whether the root directory of the semiconductor memory has a desired directory and, if this directory is found, whether software having a predetermined extension exists in this directory. If the software is found in the directory, namely, if the software to be downloaded is found, the CPU downloads this software from the semiconductor memory.
