RBIL61 - DEVICE STATUS

RBIL61 - DEVICE STATUS

I2C(also IIC; the "2" is superscripted) Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus -- A moderate-speed serial communications bus originally invented by Philips in the early 1980s for consumer-electronics applications, such as inter-chip communication in a television set or high-end stereo. The I2C bus has recently appeared on PCs in video capture boards and similar devices, as well as (surprisingly) SDRAM DIMMs (for the on-board serial EEPROM). The ACCESS.bus is a derivative of the I2C bus which forms the physical layer of the Universal Serial Bus. Similary, the SMBus (System Management Bus) also uses I2C as its physical layer. 88h/00h - Brooktree Bt819A - DEVICE STATUS {#idx171259}

INT 13 - ESDI(Enhanced Small Device Interface) A disk drive interface type which was briefly popular before IDE took over. An ESDI drive can transfer data between the drive and controller at 10, 15, or 20 megabits per second, which is faster than an MFM or RLL controller but slower than what is possible with an IDE or SCSI drive. See also IDE. FIXED DISK - GET DEVICE STATUS {undocumentedInformation about a product which is not publicly available from the manufacturer, and must be determined by reverse-engineering (disassembly, trial-and-error, etc.). Undocumented information tends to change -- often dramatically -- between successive revisions of a product, since the manufacturer has no obligation to maintain compatibility in behavior which is not explicitly stated.} {#idx9519}{#idx9524}{#idx9534}

INT 15 - SYSTEM - POINTING DEVICE BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware. The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly.

INT E0 - CP/M-86One of the three operating systems offered by IBMInternational Busiuness Machines for its original PCIBM PC (the other two were MSDOS and the UCSD p-System). It has since evolved into DR-DOS version 6 and Novell DOS 7., Concurrent CP/M(Control Program for Microcomputers) An early operating system for micros based on the 8-bit Intel 8080 CPU (and later the compatible 8085 and Zilog Z80 CPUs). MSDOS version 1.0 was essentially a clone of CP/M for the Intel 8086., DR Multiuser DOS - FUNCTION CALLS {#idx129998}

A host adapter connects the SCSI bus to the computer's own bus. See also ESDI, IDE. adapter (default address) {#idx146153}{#idx146172}{#idx146188}{#idx146203}{#idx146219}{#idx146238}
