burst extended data out dram
(foldoc) | Burst Extended Data Out DRAM
BEDO
Burst EDO
(Burst EDO, BEDO) A variant on EDO DRAM in which
read or write cycles are batched in bursts of four. The
bursts wrap around on a four byte boundary which means that
only the two least significant bits of the CAS address are
modified internally to produce each address of the burst
sequence. Consequently, burst EDO bus speeds will range from
40MHz to 66MHz, well above the 33MHz bus speeds that can be
accomplished using Fast Page Mode or EDO DRAM.
Burst EDO was introduced sometime before May 1995.

extended binary coded decimal interchange code
(foldoc) | Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code
EBCDIC
/eb's*-dik/, /eb'see`dik/, /eb'k*-dik/,
/ee`bik'dik`/, /*-bik'dik`/ (EBCDIC) A proprietary 8-bit
character set used on IBM dinosaurs, the AS/400, and
e-Server.
EBCDIC is an extension to 8 bits of BCDIC (Binary Coded
Decimal Interchange Code), an earlier 6-bit character set used
on IBM computers. EBCDIC was [first?] used on the successful
System/360, anounced on 1964-04-07, and survived for many
years despite the almost universal adoption of ASCII
elsewhere. Was this concern for backward compatibility or,
as many believe, a marketing strategy to lock in IBM
customers?
IBM created 57 national EBCDIC character sets and an
International Reference Version (IRV) based on ISO 646 (and
hence ASCII compatible). Documentation on these was not
easily accessible making international exchange of data even
between IBM mainframes a tricky task.
US EBCDIC uses more or less the same characters as ASCII,
but different code points. It has non-contiguous letter
sequences, some ASCII characters do not exist in EBCDIC
(e.g. square brackets), and EBCDIC has some (cent sign,
not sign) not in ASCII. As a consequence, the translation
between ASCII and EBCDIC was never officially completely
defined. Users defined one translation which resulted in a
so-called de-facto EBCDIC containing all the characters of
ASCII, that all ASCII-related programs use.
Some printers, telex machines, and even electronic cash
registers can speak EBCDIC, but only so they can converse with
IBM mainframes.
For an in-depth discussion of character code sets, and full
translation tables, see {Guidelines on 8-bit character codes

extended data out dynamic random access memory
(foldoc) | Extended Data Out Dynamic Random Access Memory
EDO DRAM
EDO memory
EDO RAM
Extended Data Out Random Access Memory
(EDO DRAM, EDO RAM) A type of DRAM designed to
access nearby memory locations faster than FPM DRAM.
Extended Data Out DRAM (EDO-DRAM) allows the data outputs to
be kept active after the CAS\ signal goes inactive, using an
additional signal OE\ to control the data outputs. This can
be used in pipelined systems for overlapping accesses where
the next cycle is started before the data from the last cycle
is removed from the bus.
EDO DRAM is primarily used with Intel's Pentium processors
since with slower processors there is no significant
performance gain. To make use of the advanced features of EDO
an appropriate chipset, such as Triton, must be used. In
early 1995, EDO DRAM was available for computers from
Micron, Gateway 2000, and Intel Corporation; since then
other manufactures followed suit.
Note that in comparison to Burst EDO EDO is sometimes
referred to as "Standard EDO".

EDO memory
EDO RAM
Extended Data Out Random Access Memory
(EDO DRAM, EDO RAM) A type of DRAM designed to
access nearby memory locations faster than FPM DRAM.
Extended Data Out DRAM (EDO-DRAM) allows the data outputs to
be kept active after the CAS\ signal goes inactive, using an
additional signal OE\ to control the data outputs. This can
be used in pipelined systems for overlapping accesses where
the next cycle is started before the data from the last cycle
is removed from the bus.
EDO DRAM is primarily used with Intel's Pentium processors
since with slower processors there is no significant
performance gain. To make use of the advanced features of EDO
an appropriate chipset, such as Triton, must be used. In
early 1995, EDO DRAM was available for computers from
Micron, Gateway 2000, and Intel Corporation; since then
other manufactures followed suit.
Note that in comparison to Burst EDO EDO is sometimes
referred to as "Standard EDO".

XGA
XGA-2
(XGA) An IBM display standard introduced in
1990.
XGA supports a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels with a
palette of 256 colours, or 640 x 480 with high colour (16
bits per pixel).
XGA-2 added 1024 x 768 support for high colour and higher
refresh rates, improved performance, and supports 1360 x 1024
in 16 colours.
XGA is probably not the same as 8514-A.
See also VESA's EVGA released at a similar time.

EISA
(EISA) /eesa/ A bus standard for
IBM compatibles that extends the ISA bus architecture to
32 bits and allows more than one CPU to share the bus. The
bus mastering support is also enhanced to provide access to
4 GB of memory. Unlike MCA, EISA can accept older {XT bus
architecture} and ISA boards.
EISA was announced in late 1988 by compatible vendors as a
counter to IBM's MCA in its PS/2 series. Although
somewhat inferior to the MCA it became much more popular due
to the proprietary nature of MCA.

extended memory
(foldoc) | extended memory
Memory above the first megabyte of address space
in an IBM PC with an 80286 or later processor.
Extended memory is not directly available in real mode, only
through EMS, UMB, XMS, or HMA; only applications
executing in protected mode can use extended memory
directly. In this case, the extended memory is provided by a
supervising protected-mode operating system such as
Microsoft Windows. The processor makes this memory
available through a system of global descriptor tables and
local descriptor tables. The memory is "protected" in the
sense that memory assigned a local descriptor cannot be
accessed by another program without causing a hardware trap.
This prevents programs running in protected mode from
interfering with each other's memory.
A protected-mode operating system such as Windows can also
run real-mode programs and provide expanded memory to
them. DOS Protected Mode Interface is Microsoft's
prescribed method for an MS-DOS program to access extended
memory under a multitasking environment.
Having extended memory does not necessarily mean that you have
more than one megabyte of memory since the reserved memory
area may be partially empty. In fact, if your 386 or higher
uses extended memory as expanded memory then that part is not
in excess of 1Mb.
