RBIL61 - TEST CONTROL

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/15h - Brooktree Bt819A - TEST CONTROL {#idx171327}

INT 1A - PCI 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. v2.0c+ - READ CONFIGURATION DWORDDoubleword; four bytes. Commonly used to hold a 32-bit segment:offset or selector:offset address. (Intel devices) {#idx35395}

MSR(Model-Specific Register) Additional, indirectly-accessible, registers containing control or status information about various aspects of the processor such as caches, performance counters, and the like. These registers, accessible via the RDMSR and WRMSR instructions, were added with the Pentium and later-model 486 processors. 0000h:0033h - Pentium Pro, PentiumII - "TEST_CTL" TEST CONTROL REGISTER {#idx165526}

PORTIBM PC Portable (uses same BIOS as XT) 0022-0023 - Intel 82358DT 'Mongoose' EISA(Enhanced Industry-Standard Architecture) A 32-bit superset of the IBMInternational Busiuness Machines ATIBM PC AT's expansion bus (which is now known as the ISA or Industry-Standard Architecture bus). CHIPSET - 82359 DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memory) RAM memory which essentially consists of a tiny capacitor for each bit of memory. Since capacitors do not hold a charge indefinitely, DRAM must be constantly refreshed to avoid losing its contents. Also, the process of reading the contents of the memory are destructive, meaning extra time must be spent restoring the contents of memory addresses which are accessed, so DRAM is slower than SRAM. See also Refresh, SRAM. CONTROLLER {#idx133814}

PORTIBM PC Portable (uses same BIOS as XT) 0340-035F - Adaptec AHA-152x SCSI(Small Computer Systems Interface) A system-independent expansion bus typically used to connect hard disks, tape drives, and CD-ROMs to a computer. A host adapter connects the SCSI bus to the computer's own bus. See also ESDI, IDE. adapter {#idx146549}{#idx146687}
