Q) 9.2  What do the industry acronyms stand for?
[From ralf@alum.wpi.edu (Ralph Valentino)]

This is a list of 300+ acronyms which commonly come up in discussion
of hardware.  It does not contain abbreviations or names that don't
stand for anything, nor does it attempt to explain exactly what the
technology does, where it can be found, nor even how to use it in a
sentence.  So, is it completely useless?  Well, sometimes just knowing
what an acronym stands for is enough to tell you what people are
talking about or where to go to get more information about it.

If anyone has any additions, comments, or corrections, please forward
them to me directly.  Keep in mind that I have tried to avoid software
topics except where they overlap with hardware ones, so don't bother
telling me what BASIC stands for as it is outside the scope of this
list.

Tel 408-720-0107

They are in my mind necessary if you want to write programs that use Socket
Services or Card Services, but maybe not necessary for designing hardware.
A bit pricey they are.

Q) 9.4  What books are available for the PC architecture?

Edward Solari
_ISA & EISA_ Theory and Operation
Annabooks, San Diego CA USA
ISBN 0-929392-15-9

This is an excellent book on the EISA and ISA architectures.
Everything you need to know to make your own card, from timing to ECU
config files.

Tom Shanley
_EISA System Architecture_
MindShare, Inc, Richardson, TX USA
ISBN 1-881609-03-0

This book is good for an overview of the EISA and, in part, ISA
systems.  It doesn't go into enough detail to design boards from, but,
as a quote from the sleeve says "The co-ops in the group have found
them to be especially useful."

Tom Shanley
_PCI System Architecture_
MindShare, Inc, Richardson, TX USA
ISBN 1-881609-06-5

[From: cls@truffula.sj.ca.us (Cameron Spitzer):

Edward Solari
_AT Bus Design_
Annabooks, San Diego CA USA
ISBN 0-929392-08-6

This book describes the expansion slot which appeared in IBM's
Personal Computer AT.  This bus is now known as the Industry Standard
Architecture Bus, or just ISA.  It gives enough functional and timing
detail for the hardware designer to ensure a new Adapter's
compatibility.  It does not discuss any of the defacto-standard
Adapters, peripherals, or BIOS features, and gives only an overview of
the memory and IO layout.  The timing details are for the nominal 8
MHz bus clock.  Recent practice of drastically increasing this clock
rate is not discussed.

Scott Mueller
_Upgrading and Repairing PCs, 2nd ed._
QUE
ISBN 0-88022-856-3

I've found the following book to be an excellent reference on the PC.
It discusses the IBM PC family and various peripherals.  The book is
written so that the novice user will find this book of use.  Those
that deal with PCs on a lower level will appreciate the numerous
tables that contains information on such topics as serial port
pin-outs, bus connection labels, and I/O ports addresses.

NOTES

- Berkeley Systems, Inc. - I do not know if this is supported by
  Berkeley or not...if so, it's not very well kept.
- Gateway 2000 Users Group - this user group is officially supported
  and recognized by Gateway 2000, as well as other companies like IBM.
- Hercules Computer Technology - the WWW and FTP sites above are
  officially supported by Hercules; however, they will have their own
  web/ftp server up and running in early February.  They will be
  "www.hercules.com" and "ftp.hercules.com."
- ID Software - this server is up, though I don't believe they've
  actually written any documents yet.
- Micron - I was told by Micron that their server would be up in late
  Jan./ early Feb. 
- The Sony server is up and running, though they haven't added support
  for their monitors yet....or for any other of their electronics' products.
- Toshiba America - I don't believe this is officially supported but
  it does include some pretty good info on their notebooks/laptops
- Wyse Technology - they have a few HTML "home page" documents on a
  other servers but I was asked to use their new server (above); it will
  go online between the 15th and 18th of January.
- U.S. Robotics Corporation - I don't believe this is officially
  supported but it does give some good info on their products.
- Xircom - I don't know if this is a supported site in the works or
  not...I'll let you be the judge
