[From ralf@alum.wpi.edu (Ralph Valentino)] This is a list of 300+ acronyms which commonly come up in discussion of hardware. It does not contain abbreviations or names that don't stand for anything, nor does it attempt to explain exactly what the technology does, where it can be found, nor even how to use it in a sentence. So, is it completely useless? Well, sometimes just knowing what an acronym stands for is enough to tell you what people are talking about or where to go to get more information about it. If anyone has any additions, comments, or corrections, please forward them to me directly. Keep in mind that I have tried to avoid software topics except where they overlap with hardware ones, so don't bother telling me what BASIC stands for as it is outside the scope of this list.

A bit pricey they are. [From: cls@truffula.sj.ca.us (Cameron Spitzer): _EISA Specification_ BCPR Services Inc. POB 11137 Spring TX 77391 (713)251-4832 This book *specifies* the Extended ISA.

Edward Solari _ISA & EISA_ Theory and Operation Annabooks, San Diego CA USA ISBN 0-929392-15-9 This is an excellent book on the EISA and ISA architectures. Everything you need to know to make your own card, from timing to ECU config files. Tom Shanley _EISA System Architecture_ MindShare, Inc, Richardson, TX USA ISBN 1-881609-03-0 This book is good for an overview of the EISA and, in part, ISA systems. It doesn't go into enough detail to design boards from, but, as a quote from the sleeve says "The co-ops in the group have found them to be especially useful." Tom Shanley _PCI System Architecture_ MindShare, Inc, Richardson, TX USA ISBN 1-881609-06-5 [From: cls@truffula.sj.ca.us (Cameron Spitzer): Edward Solari _AT Bus Design_ Annabooks, San Diego CA USA ISBN 0-929392-08-6 This book describes the expansion slot which appeared in IBM's Personal Computer AT. This bus is now known as the Industry Standard Architecture Bus, or just ISA. It gives enough functional and timing detail for the hardware designer to ensure a new Adapter's compatibility. It does not discuss any of the defacto-standard Adapters, peripherals, or BIOS features, and gives only an overview of the memory and IO layout. The timing details are for the nominal 8 MHz bus clock. Recent practice of drastically increasing this clock rate is not discussed. [From: Shaun Burnett (burnesa@cat.com)] Scott Mueller _Upgrading and Repairing PCs, 2nd ed._ QUE ISBN 0-88022-856-3 I've found the following book to be an excellent reference on the PC. It discusses the IBM PC family and various peripherals. The book is written so that the novice user will find this book of use. Those that deal with PCs on a lower level will appreciate the numerous tables that contains information on such topics as serial port pin-outs, bus connection labels, and I/O ports addresses. _Pentium(tm) Processor System Architecture_ MindShare, Inc.

They will be "www.hercules.com" and "ftp.hercules.com." - ID Software - this server is up, though I don't believe they've actually written any documents yet. - Micron - I was told by Micron that their server would be up in late Jan./ early Feb. - The Sony server is up and running, though they haven't added support for their monitors yet....or for any other of their electronics' products. - Toshiba America - I don't believe this is officially supported but it does include some pretty good info on their notebooks/laptops - Wyse Technology - they have a few HTML "home page" documents on a other servers but I was asked to use their new server (above); it will go online between the 15th and 18th of January. - U.S. Robotics Corporation - I don't believe this is officially supported but it does give some good info on their products. - Xircom - I don't know if this is a supported site in the works or not...I'll let you be the judge Q) 9.8 What's the phone number for...
