AC Power Adapter
The “power brick” that converts the AC power coming from the electrical
socket into lower voltage Direct Current (DC) that the micro-electronic
devices inside your WinBook XL2 need.
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
Power management standard in Windows 98. It helps optimize power
management for your WinBook XL2. ACPI also allows applications to
take control of power management, for example to prevent a timeout from
interrupting a presentation.
Application
A software program designed to perform certain functions and uses.
ASCII (American Standard Code
for Information Interchange)
This code uses values from 0 to 127 to represent letters, numbers, symbols,
and punctuation marks. The standard allows information to be exchanged
in one common form (without all of the extra codes that programs attach to
those numbers and letters and symbols and marks). This form of text is
sometimes referred to as ASCII text or just “text.” Storing data as ASCII
text can allow you to easily exchange information with people who might
use other software than you do.
ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface)
This set of protocols allows your CD-ROM, DVD or LS-120 drives to
function using the IDE interface of your WinBook XL2.
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
This is the way in which your computer sends and receives very low-level
instructions to and from your hardware equipment (such as your keyboard).
