A typical CD-ROM can contain about 600MB of data and is not subject to be crashing into the surface and destroying the data when there is a failure nor to wear from reading.
  • Page 97 LPT Port Line Printer Port. A way of referring to parallel interface ports because historically line printers were the first and latter the most common device connected to parallel ports. Megabyte. Megahertz 1,000,000 cycles per second. Memory A repository for data and applications which is readily accessible to your notebook CPU. Megahertz.
  • Page 98 PCMCIA PCMCIA is trademark of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association is an organization that sets standards for add-in cards for personal computers. Peripheral Device A piece or equipment which performs a specific function associated with but not integral to a computer. Examples: a printer, a mode, a CD-ROM.
  • Page 99 Driver A computer program which converts application and operating system commands to external devices into the exact from required by a specific brand and model of device in order to produce the desired results from that particular equipment. Extended Capability Port. A set of standards for high speed data communication and interconnection between electronic devices.
  • Page 100 An abbreviation for infrared. IrDA Infrared Data Association. An organization which produces standards for communication using infrared as the carrier. Interrupt Request. An acronym for the hardware signal to the CPU that an external event has occurred which needs to be processed. Kilobyte.
  • Page 101 SDRAM Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. Serial Port A connection to another device through which data is transferred one bit at a time on a single wire with any other wires only for control of the device not for transfer of data. Shadow RAM A technique of copying data or applications stored in ROM (Read Only Memory) into RAM (Random Access Memory) for access during actual operation.
  • Page 102 System Clock An oscillator of fixed precise frequency which synchronizes the operation of the system and is counted to provide time of day and date. Thin Film Transistor - A technology for flat display panels which uses a thin film matrix of transistors to control each pixel of the display screen individually.
