ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) A type of computer bus used in most PCs. It allows devices to send and receive data 16 bits at a time.
KByte (kilobyte) A measure of computer storage equal to 1024 bytes.local bus A way to connect peripherals directly to the computer processor’s data path. It bypasses the slower ISA and EISA buses. PCI is a local bus standard.
logical unit A subdivision, either logical or physical, of a SCSI device. Most devices have only one logical unit, but up to sixteen are allowed for a
A robust design methodology that improves power consumption, data integrity, cable lengths, and support for multiple devices while providing a migration path for increased I/O performance.
MByte (megabyte) A measure of computer storage equal to 1024 kilobytes.mainboard A large circuit board
that holds RAM, ROM, the microprocessor, custom integrated circuits, and other components that make a computer work. It also has expansion slots for host adapters and other
main memory The part of a computer’s memory that is directly accessible by the CPU (usually synonymous with RAM).
