- Hey,
-
- here one of these stupid questions of a beginner:
-
- Could anybody explain to me what the main difference between 7 and 8
- bit systems are. Is it only relevant for the terminals connected to
- the system?
-
- Into what kind of trouble am I running when I'm trying to run a 7
- bit programme on a 8 bit machine and vice versa?
