EDO
Extended Data Output, a type of random access memory (RAM) chip
designed to improve the time to read from memory on faster
microprocessors such as the Intel® Pentium®.
EISA
Extended Industry Standard Architecture, a bus standard for PCs extending
the ISA architecture to 32 bits and allowing more than one CPU to share the
bus.
Embedded Storage Controller
An intelligent storage controller that mounts in a host computer’s housing
and attaches directly to a host’s memory bus with no intervening I/O adapter
or I/O bus.
Ethernet
An Ethernet local area network (LAN) typically uses coaxial cable or special
grades of twisted pair wires, and is the most widely installed local area
network technology. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are
called 10BASE-T and provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps. See also
Fast Ethernet.
10Base T: Supports Ethernet's 10 Mbps transmission speed. The most widely
installed Ethernet local area networks (LANs) use ordinary telephone
twisted-pair wire. When used on Ethernet, this carrier medium is known as
10BASE-T. In addition to 10BASE-T, 10 megabit Ethernet can be
implemented with these media types:
• 10BASE-2 (thinwire coaxial cable with a maximum segment length of
185 meters)
• 10BASE-5 (thickwire coaxial cable with a maximum segment length of
500 meters)
• 10BASE-F (fiber optic cable)
The “10” in the media type designation refers to the transmission speed of 10
Mbps. The “BASE” refers to baseband signaling, which means that only
Ethernet signals are carried on the medium. The “T” represents twisted-pair;
