What are 4 ways in which an operating system controls hardware and software on a computer?
as I remember it the main ways to control peripherals on a computer or computer based systems is software, mediumware, firmware and hardware, things may have changed since i was last at school, but it is worth checking out them all, mediumware may have evolved into firmware by now, but you never know, check it out :) So essentially you have hardware which is controlled by its firmware, the firmware is what the operating system (mediumware)uses to control the hardware, and the software is the part that interacts with the operating system (mediumware) to make it possible for anyone to use the hardware in a nutshell.
