  2. DIP switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIP_switch

    However, DIP switches are still widely used in industrial equipment because they are inexpensive and easy to incorporate into circuit designs, and because they allow settings to be checked at a glance without powering the system on. DIP switches are still used in some remote controls to prevent interference; for example, to control a ceiling ...

  3. Plug and play - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_and_play

    At the time, there could be a mix of devices in a system, some capable of automatic configuration, and some still using fully manual settings via jumpers and DIP switches. The old world of DOS still lurked underneath Windows 95, and systems could be configured to load devices in three different ways: through Windows 95 Device Manager drivers only

  4. BIOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

    In computing, BIOS (/ ˈ b aɪ ɒ s,-oʊ s /, BY-oss, -⁠ohss; Basic Input/Output System, also known as the System BIOS, ROM BIOS, BIOS ROM or PC BIOS) is a type of firmware used to provide runtime services for operating systems and programs and to perform hardware initialization during the booting process (power-on startup). [1]

  5. PCI configuration space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_configuration_space

    The BIOS or operating system will also program some other registers of the PCI configuration space for each PCI device, e.g. interrupt request. Since this entire process is fully automated, the user is spared the task of configuring any newly added hardware manually by changing DIP switches on the cards themselves.

  6. MOS Technology 6502 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6502

    The 65C802 could be retrofitted to a 6502 board and would function as a 65C02 on power-up, operating in "emulation mode." As with the 65C816, a two-instruction sequence would switch the 65C802 to "native mode" operation, exposing its 16-bit accumulator and index registers, and other 65C816 features. The 65C802 was not widely used and production ...

  7. Junos OS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junos_OS

    Junos operating system is primarily based on FreeBSD on bare metal and later also with Linux kernel. [8] Because FreeBSD is a Unix implementation, users can access a Unix shell and execute normal Unix commands. Junos runs on most or all Juniper hardware systems. [9]

  8. Monolithic kernel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolithic_kernel

    A monolithic kernel is an operating system architecture with the entire operating system running in kernel space. The monolithic model differs from other architectures such as the microkernel [1] [2] in that it alone defines a high-level virtual interface over computer hardware. A set of primitives or system calls implement all operating system ...

  9. IBM System/360 architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/360_architecture

    The IBM System/360 architecture is the model independent architecture for the entire S/360 line of mainframe computers, including but not limited to the instruction set architecture. The elements of the architecture are documented in the IBM System/360 Principles of Operation [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and the IBM System/360 I/O Interface Channel to Control ...
