	Glossary
interlaced	A graphics system in which the even scanlines are refreshed in one
	vertical cycle (field), and the odd scanlines are refreshed in another
	vertical cycle. The advantage is that the video bandwidth is roughly
	half that required for a non-interlaced system of the same resolution.
	This results in less costly hardware. It also may make it possible to
	display a resolution that would otherwise be impossible on given
	hardware. The disadvantage of an interlaced system is flicker,
	especially when displaying objects that are only a few scanlines
	high.
IQ Signals	Similar to the color difference signals (R-Y), (B-Y) but using
	different vector axis for encoding or decoding. Used by some USA
	TV and IC manufacturers for color decoding.
ISA (bus)	Industry Standard Architecture (bus). The de facto standard system
	bus for IBM-compatible computers until the introduction of VESA
	and PCI. Used in the reference platform specification. (IBM)
ISASIO	ISA Super Input/Output device
ISDN	Integrated Services Digital Network. A standard for digitally
	transmitting video, audio, and electronic data over public phone
	networks.
LAN	Local Area Network
LED	Light-Emitting Diode
LFM	Linear Feet per Minute
little-endian	A byte-ordering method in memory where the address n of a word
	corresponds to the least significant byte. In an addressed memory
	word, the bytes are ordered (left to right) 3, 2, 1, 0, with 3 being the
	most significant byte.
MBLT	Multiplexed BLock Transfer
MCA (bus)	Micro Channel Architecture
MCG	Motorola Computer Group
MFM	Modified Frequency Modulation
MIDI	Musical Instrument Digital Interface. The standard format for
	recording, storing, and playing digital music.
MPC	Multimedia Personal Computer
