2. COM (hardware interface) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COM_(hardware_interface)

   Today, few consumer-grade PC-compatible computers include COM ports, [3] though some of them do still include a COM header on the motherboard. [4] After the RS-232 COM port was removed from most consumer-grade computers, an external USB-to-UART serial adapter cable was used to compensate for the loss. A major supplier of these chips is FTDI.

   Pin 13: HSync: Horizontal sync (or Composite sync) Pin 14: VSync: Vertical sync: Pin 15: ID3/SCL: I²C clock since DDC2, formerly monitor id. bit 3: The image and table detail the 15-pin VESA DDC2/E-DDC connector; the diagram's pin numbering is that of a female connector functioning as the graphics adapter output. In the male connector, this ...

4. Adapter (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter_(computing)

   Both software and hardware adapters are used in many different devices such as mobile phones, personal computers, servers and telecommunications networks for a wide range of purposes. [3] Some adapters are built into devices, while the others can be installed on a computer's motherboard or connected as external devices. A Fibre Channel host bus ...

5. Parallel port - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port

   The parallel port interface was originally known as the Parallel Printer Adapter on IBM PC-compatible computers. It was primarily designed to operate printers that used IBM's eight-bit extended ASCII character set to print text, but could also be used to adapt other peripherals. Graphical printers, along with a host of other devices, have been ...

6. D-subminiature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature

   Later Macintosh models use 8-pin miniature DIN connectors instead. On PCs, 25-pin and (beginning with the IBM PC/AT) 9-pin plugs were used for the RS-232 serial ports; 25-pin sockets were used for parallel ports (instead of the Centronics port found on the printer itself, which was inconveniently large for direct placement on the expansion cards).

7. Low Pin Count - Wikipedia

   Low Pin Count interface Winbond chip Trusted Platform Module installed on a motherboard, and using the LPC bus. The Low Pin Count (LPC) bus is a computer bus used on IBM-compatible personal computers to connect low-bandwidth devices to the CPU, such as the BIOS ROM (BIOS ROM was moved to the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus in 2006 [1]), "legacy" I/O devices (integrated into Super I/O ...

8. Color Graphics Adapter - Wikipedia

   Back of a CGA Video Adapter board, with the RCA composite output connector visible on the right. The Color Graphics Adapter uses a standard RCA connector for connection to an NTSC-compatible television or composite video monitor. [3] The connector on the card is female and the one on the monitor cable is male.

9. Parallel ATA - Wikipedia
