    The most important feature of the microprocessor development board was the ROM-based built-in machine language monitor, or "debugger" as it was also sometimes called.. Often the name of the board was related to the name of this monitor program, for example the name of the monitor program of the KIM-1 was "Keyboard Input Monitor", because the ROM-based software allowed entry of programs without ...

  8. Input/output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input/output

    Devices for communication between computers, such as modems and network cards, typically perform both input and output operations. Any interaction with the system by an interactor is an input and the reaction the system responds is called the output. The designation of a device as either input or output depends on perspective.
