The new standard requires faster timing speeds, and runs faster than PCI. Most DOS software packages would support it as a de facto display standard , but DOS provided no graphics support, so every program manipulated the board's registers and video memory directly via special drivers. The operating system distribution software also included a relocating assembler and linker.

IBM had sued companies that simply copied the code. Market reaction to IBM's Enhanced Graphics Adapter has not been overwhelming, partly because the EGA's complexity—five custom chips and 12 modes—has slowed software development and the board's price tag has been a damper for many, but the EGA is emerging as the next graphics standard. Text mode is required to avoid incompatibilities video conflicts while running many popular TSR programs in graphics mode. By moving video cards from the 8-MHz, bit ISA expansion bus to the CPU's bit local bus running at full clock speed, vendors may improve high-resolution graphics performance on based PCs. It comes in either a bus or serial version, with the Multi-Tool [J] Notepad , a mouse-based text editor written by Richard Brodie. I am collecting software and I really like this item!

InfoWorld reported that during the past year a growing number of generic, no-name PC compatibles gained support as legitimate alternatives to major manufacturers' systems. The key to X-AM's performance is apparently its ability to switch from protected mode to virtual mode. With modern operating systems, all memory management you need to do is installing enough RAM.

SWEDIN WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY DAVIS ABSTRACT In 2006, IBM ended their support of OS/2, closing the book on an ambitious effort to create a modern operating system for the personal computer. IBM and Microsoft released the OS/2 operating system in December 1987 to replace the primitive DOS with a more sophisticated, preemptive multitasking operating system for personal computers. This article argues that OS/2 failed because of the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement of 1986, subsequent accusations of DRAM chip dumping by the United States, and the resulting tariffs on Japanese memory chips, led to a memory chip shortage that drove up memory prices.

  • A Guide to Discuss Ethical Issues in Digital Research Second Edition
    Ethical challenges in digital research 2nd edition ETHICAL CHALLENGES IN DIGITAL RESEARCH A guide to discuss ethical issues in digital research Second edition Ethical challenges in digital research 2nd edition Ethical challenges in digital research – A guide to discuss ethical issues in digital research Second edition January 2020 Developed by DIGETIK at Aalborg University as part of DIGHUMLAB Authors Line Lisberg Christensen, Research Assistant Malene Charlotte Larsen, Associate Professor Layout Steffen Madsen, DIGHUMLAB i Ethical challenges in digital research 2nd edition I. Introduction to document The ever-changing development of digital technologies and digital infrastructure makes it necessary for us as researchers to change approaches to digital research within the humanities. In terms of research ethics, we can no longer use traditional laws and guidelines that only match the non-digital world. In a time where it is necessary to change and re-think our ways of doing research, we bring to you this second version of Ethical Challenges in Digital Research to initiate discussions about ethical research and to help guide you in your digital research. The compound may serve you as a guideline to ethical research, a helpful tool to those in need of inspiration or merely as a list of literature that is relevant to your field, whether that is: big data, surveillance, privacy, games and gamification, ethics in studies with children and adolescents, health research, journalism, ethnographic studies, visual methods, vulnerable groups, web archives, economy, risky business for researchers or one of the many other categories in this collection of ethical digital research. We initially created this document with the intention of helping scholars reflect and discuss the ethical dimensions of their digital research, whilst providing guidance and insight about how to deal with these issues.

  • Accessing Windows Applications from Unix and Vice Versa
    50-20-42 DATA COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT ACCESSING WINDOWS APPLICATIONS FROM UNIX AND VICE VERSA Raj Rajagopal INSIDE Accessing Windows Applications from an X-Station, Coexistence Options, Windows in an X-Station, Accessing Windows Applications, Accessing UNIX Applications from Windows Desktops, Emulators Migrating from one environment to another takes planning, resources and, most importantly, time (except in very trivial cases). This implies that even if eventually migrating to another environment, one still has to deal with coexistence among environments in the interim. In many com- panies it would make good business sense not to migrate legacy systems at all. Instead, it may be better to develop new systems in the desired en- vironment and phase out the legacy applications. The data created by the legacy applications is important and one must ensure that data can be ac- cessed from a new environment. Coexistence considerations are very im- portant in this case.

  • Softnas Deployment Guide for High- Performance SQL Storage
    SoftNAS Deployment Guide for High- Performance SQL Storage Introduction SoftNAS cloud NAS systems are based on an innovative, memory-centric storage architecture that delivers unparalleled NAS performance, efficiency, and value. They incorporate a hybrid disk storage technology that tailors the usage of data disks, log solid- state cache drives (SSDs), and read cache SSDs to the data share's specific needs. Additional features include variable storage record size, data compression, and multiple connectivity options. As a Cloud NAS solution, SoftNAS cloud NAS systems provide an excellent base for Microsoft Windows Server deployments by providing iSCSI or Fibre Channel block storage for Microsoft SQL Server, and network file system (NFS) or server message block (SMB) file storage for Microsoft Windows client access. This document covers the best practices to follow when deploying Microsoft SQL Server on a SoftNAS cloud NAS system. The intended audience is storage administrators and Microsoft SQL Server database administrators. Maintaining High Availability As with any business-critical application, high availability is a crucial design criterion to be considered when deploying a Microsoft SQL Server installation. Microsoft SQL Server 2016 can be installed on local and/or shared file systems, and SoftNAS cloud NAS systems can satisfy both of these options. Local file systems (from the Microsoft Windows Server perspective) are hosted as block volumes—iSCSI and/or Fibre-Channel-connected LUNs and file systems as SMB and/or NFS volumes. High availability starts with the network connectivity supporting the storage and server interconnectivity. Any design for the storage infrastructure should avoid single points of failure. Because many white papers and publications cover storage-area networking and network-attached storage resilience, those topics are not covered in detail in this paper.

    VISI ON CALC WORKING IN WINDOWS The Spreadsheet Revisited Since the VisiCalc® program was introduced five years ago, the spreadsheet has become a common productivity tool in business, education, and the home . In the United States alone, there are literally millions of spreadsheet users . Spreadsheet products have continued to evolve during this period-both in their capabilities and functions and in the uses to which they've been put . Today, spreadsheet programs like the VisiCalc program are used in applications as diverse as farm management, estate planning, and inventory balancing . Visi On CalcTM By giving you access to several different spreadsheets at the same time, each displayed in its own window, the Visi On Calc program gives you back the flexibility you had when you could move paper worksheets around on your desk . Gone are the limitations of working with one huge electronic spreadsheet containing many different kinds o f data. The new Visi On Calc program is a significant step in the evolution of spreadsheet products . It's a result of many years of study and development that gives today's user perhaps the broadest set of modeling capabilities to be found in any existing spreadsheet product . Among these capabilities, the Visi On Calc spreadsheet program has these unique characteristics : Windows The Visi On windowing environment lets you use and display several spreadsheets at the same time . Because of this, you can use them more naturally-more like you would do if you were constructing them on paper . No longer do you have to fit profit and loss, cash budget, and balance sheets into one unwieldy spreadsheet, as with conventional spreadsheet programs .
