EIDE
Abbreviation for enhanced integrated drive electronics. EIDE devices add one or
more of the following enhancements to the traditional IDE standard:
Data transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec
Support for drives other than just hard drives, such as CD and tape drives
Support for hard drives with capacities greater than 528 MB
Support for up to two controllers, each with up to two devices attached
EISA
Acronym for Extended Industry-Standard Architecture, a 32-bit expansion-bus
design. The expansion-card connectors in an EISA computer are also compatible
with 8- or 16-bit ISA expansion cards.
To avoid a configuration conflict when installing an EISA expansion card, you
must use the EISA Configuration Utility. This utility allows you to specify which
expansion slot contains the card and obtains information about the card’s
required system resources from a corresponding EISA configuration file.
EMC
Abbreviation for Electromagnetic Compatibility.
EMI
Abbreviation for electromagnetic interference.
EMM
Abbreviation for expanded memory manager. A utility that uses extended
memory to emulate expanded memory on computers with an Intel386™ or
higher microprocessor.
EMS
Abbreviation for Expanded Memory Specification.
EPP
Abbreviation for Enhanced Parallel Port which provides improved bidirectional
data transmission. Many devices are designed to take advantage of the
EPP standard, especially devices, such as network or SCSI adapters that connect
to the parallel port of a portable computer.
EPROM
Acronym for erasable programmable read-only memory.
