peripheric.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Anat.) External; away from the center; on or near the
surface; as, the peripheral portion of the nervous system.

peripheral interest"; "energy is far from a peripheral issue
in the economy"; "peripheral issues"

peripheral device
(Or "peripheral device", "device") Any part of a
computer other than the CPU or working memory,
i.e. disks, keyboards, monitors, mice, printers,
scanners, tape drives, microphones, speakers,
cameras, to list just the less exotic ones.
High speed working memory, such as RAM, ROM or, in the
old days, core would not normally be referred to as
peripherals. The more modern term "device" is also more
general in that it is used for things such as a pseudo-tty,
a RAM drive, or a network adapter.
Some argue that, since the advent of the personal computer,
the motherboard, hard disk, keyboard, mouse, and monitor
are all parts of the base system, and only use the term
"peripheral" for optional additional components.

advanced scsi peripheral interface
(foldoc) | Advanced SCSI Peripheral Interface
ASPI
(ASPI) A set of libraries designed to
provide programs running under Microsoft Windows with a
consistent interface for accessing SCSI devices. ASPI has
become a de facto standard.
The ASPI layer is a collection of programs (DLLs) that
together implement the ASPI interface. Many problems are
caused by device manufacturers packaging incomplete sets of
these DLLs with their hardware, often with incorrect date
stamps, causing newer versions to get replaced with old.
ASPICHK from Adaptec will check the ASPI components installed
on a computer.
The latest ASPI layer as of March 1999 is 1014.
The ATAPI standard for IDE devices makes them look to the
system like SCSI devices and allows them to work through ASPI.

peripheral component interconnect
(foldoc) | Peripheral Component Interconnect
PCI
PCI bus
(PCI) A standard for connecting peripherals to a
personal computer, designed by Intel and released around
Autumn 1993. PCI is supported by most major manufacturers
including Apple Computer. It is technically far superior to
VESA's local bus. It runs at 20 - 33 MHz and carries 32
bits at a time over a 124-pin connector or 64 bits over a
188-pin connector. An address is sent in one cycle followed
by one word of data (or several in burst mode).
PCI is used in systems based on Pentium, Pentium Pro, {AMD
5x86}, AMD K5 and AMD K6 processors, in some DEC Alpha
and PowerPC systems, and probably Cyrix 586 and {Cyrix
686} systems. However, it is processor independent and so can
work with other processor architectures as well.
Technically, PCI is not a bus but a bridge or mezzanine.
It includes buffers to decouple the CPU from relatively slow
peripherals and allow them to operate asynchronously.

serial peripheral interface
(foldoc) | Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) A serial interface in which
a master device supplies clock pulses to exchanges data
serially with a slave over two data wires (Master-Slave and
Slave-Master). This term probably originated with Motorola in
about 1979 with their first all-in-one microcontroller.

simultaneous peripheral operation on-line
(foldoc) | Simultaneous Peripheral Operation On-Line
(SPOOL) Accessing peripheral
devices with the help of an off-line tape drive. The term
was derived by IBM for use with the IBM 360 {operating
systems}.
In the early days of computing (early 1960s), before
multitasking was invented, computers (e.g. IBM 704) could
run only one job at a time. As peripheral devices such as
printers or card readers were much slower than the CPU,
devoting the computer (the only computer in many cases) to
controlling such devices was impractical.
To free the CPU for useful work, the output was sent to a
magnetic tape drive, which was much faster than a printer
and much cheaper than a computer. After the job was finished
the tape was removed from the tape drive attached to the
computer and mounted on a tape drive connected to a printer
(such as the IBM 1403). The printer could then print the
data without holding up the computer. Similarly, instead of
inputting the program from the card reader it was first copied
to a tape and the tape was read by the computer.
