2. (Chem.) A receiver, with two necks, opposite to each
other, one of which admits the neck of a retort, and the
other is joined to another receiver. It is used in
distillations, to give more space to elastic vapors, to
increase the length of the neck of a retort, or to unite
two vessels whose openings have different diameters.

graphics card
video adaptor
video card
(Or "graphics card",
"video adapter", etc.) A circuit board fitted to a computer,
especially an IBM PC, containing the necessary {video
memory} and other electronics to provide a bitmap display.
adapters vary in the resolution (number of pixels) and
number of colours they can display, and in the refresh rate
they support. These parameters are also limited by the
monitor to which the adapter is connected. A number of such
display standards, e.g. SVGA, have become common and
different software requires or supports different sets.

internet adapter
(foldoc) | Internet Adapter
The Internet Adapter (TIA). A program
from Cyberspace Development which runs on a Unix shell
account and acts as a SLIP emulator. A TIA emulated SLIP
account is not quite the same as a real SLIP account but TIA's
SLIP emulation is completely standard in terms of working with
MacTCP-based software on the Macintosh (or WinSock on a
Microsoft Windows machine).
You do not get your own Internet Address as you do with a
real SLIP account, instead, TIA uses the IP number of the
machine it runs on and "redirects" traffic back to you. You
cannot set up your machine as an FTP server, for instance,
since there's no IP number for an FTP client elsewhere to
connect to.
TIA's performance is reportedly good, faster than normal SLIP
in fact, and about as fast as Compressed SLIP. Future
releases will support CSLIP and even PPP.
Cyberspace Development has ported TIA to several versions of
Unix and more are on the way.
TERM is a free program which performs a similar function
between two machines both running Unix.

scsi adapter
(foldoc) | SCSI adapter
SCSI controller
SCSI interface
(Or "host adapter") A device that communicates
between a computer and its SCSI peripherals. The SCSI
adapter is usually assigned SCSI ID 7. It is often a
separate card that is connected to the computer's bus
(e.g. PCI, ISA, PCMCIA) though increasinly, SCSI
adapters are built in to the motherboard. Apart from being
cheaper, busses like PCI are too slow to keep up with the
newer SCSI standards like Ultra SCSI and Ultra-Wide SCSI.
There are several varieties of SCSI (and their connectors) and
an adapter will not support them all.
The performance of SCSI devices is limited by the speed of the
SCSI adapter and its connection to the computer. An adapter
that plugs into a parallel port is unlikely to be as fast as
one incorporated into a motherboard. Fast adapters use DMA
or bus mastering.
Some SCSI adapters include a BIOS to allow PCs to boot
from a SCSI hard disk, if their own BIOS supports it.
Adaptec make the majority of SCSI chipsets and many of the
best-selling adapters.
Note that it is not a "SCSI controller" - it does not control
the devices, and "SCSI interface" is redundant - the "I" of
"SCSI" stands for "interface".

TA
Terminal Adaptor
(TA) Equipment used to adapt
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) {Basic Rate
Interface} (BRI) channels to existing terminal equipment
standards such as EIA-232 and V.35. A Terminal Adapter is
typically packaged like a modem, either as a stand-alone
unit or as an interface card that plugs into a computer or
other communications equipment (such as a router or PBX).
A Terminal Adapter does not interoperate with a modem; it
replaces it.

Video Graphics Adaptor
(VGA) A display standard for IBM PCs, with 640
x 480 pixels in 16 colours and a 4:3 aspect ratio. There
is also a text mode with 720 x 400 pixels.
IBM technical references define the *product name* of their
original VGA display board as "Video Graphics Array", in
contrast to the preceding boards, the "{Color Graphics
Adapter}" (CGA) and "Enhanced Graphics Adapter" (EGA).
