this document.
10Base-5
An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium is a
doubly shielded, 50-ohm coaxial cable capable of carrying data at
10 Mbps for a length of 500 meters (also referred to as thicknet).
Also known as thick Ethernet.
10Base-2
An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium is a
single-shielded, 50-ohm RG58A/U coaxial cable capable of
carrying data at 10 Mbps for a length of 185 meters (also referred
to as AUI or thinnet). Also known as thin Ethernet.
10Base-T
An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium is an
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of wires capable of carrying data at
10 Mbps for a maximum distance of 185 meters. Also known as
twisted-pair Ethernet.
100Base-TX
An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium is an
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of wires capable of carrying data at
100 Mbps for a maximum distance of 100 meters. Also known as
fast Ethernet.
ACIA
Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter
AIX
Advanced Interactive eXecutive (IBM version of UNIX)
architecture
The main overall design in which each individual hardware
component of the computer system is interrelated. The most
common uses of this term are 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit architectural
design systems.
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. This is a 7-
bit code used to encode alphanumeric information. In the IBM-
compatible world, this is expanded to 8-bits to encode a total of
256 alphanumeric and control characters.
