TOSHIBA Satellite P100 / Satellite Pro P100 Series Glossary The terms in this glossary cover topics related to this manual. Alternate naming is included for reference.
Glossary MS-DOS: Microsoft Disk Operating System PCI: peripheral component interconnect RAM: random access memory ROM: read only memory RTC: real time clock SCSI: small computer system interface TFT: thin-film transistor USB: Universal Serial Bus VESA: Video Electronic Standards Association VGA: video graphics array XGA: extended graphics array A adaptor: A device that provides an interface between two dissimilar electronic devices.
Glossary C cache memory: High speed memory which stores data that increases processor speed and data transfer rate. When the CPU reads data from main memory, it stores a copy of this data in cache memory. The next time the CPU needs that same data, it looks for it in the cache memory rather than the main memory, which saves time. The computer has two cache levels. Level one is incorporated into the processor and level two resides in external memory.
Glossary CRT: Cathode Ray Tube. A vacuum tube in which beams projected on a fluorescent screen-producing luminous spots. An example is the television set. cursor: A small, blinking rectangle or line that indicates the current position on the display screen. D DC: Direct Current. Electric current that flows in one direction. This type of power is usually supplied by batteries. default: The parameter value automatically selected by the system when you or the program do not provide instructions.
