Yes....that's right, they are either Open or Closed. Now for your personal setup, we can't know which they're supposed to be, you need to look up your motherboard specs to find that out. Why do allot of these questions sound like people are trying to get help with their Computer Science tests...??? This would be CompSci 101 tho

When installing a device why would you prefer to use a pci expansion slot rather that an isa expansion slot?

PCI has several advantages over ISA, that make it a better choice for most devices.1. PCI is several times faster. ISA is an 8/16-bit interface that runs on an 8 MHz bus. PCI is a 32/64 bit interface that runs on a 33 or 66 MHz bis. Thus more data is able to transfer to and from the PCI bus.2. PCI was built with Plug 'n' Play support in mind. No special configuration is needed when you install PCI cards. When installing ISA cards, you will often have to configure jumpers on them to specify an interrupt and DMA channel, and many cards can be incompatible with each other.3. ISA is all but absent from modern computers. One of the requirements for a computer to bear the "Made for Windows 2000" sticker was the removal of the ISA bus. So there have not been any major ISA motherboard vendors in 10 years.

1HP equal to amps?

The relationship between horsepower (HP) and amps depends on several factors, including the voltage of the electrical system and the efficiency of the device or motor being measured. The relationship can be calculated using the formula: Power (in horsepower) = Voltage (in volts) xCurrent (in amps)/746 Where: Power is measured in horsepower (HP) Voltage is measured in volts (V) Current is measured in amperes (amps) The number 746 is a conversion factor used to convert watts (W) to horsepower (HP). So, if you know the voltage and current of an electrical device, you can use this formula to calculate the power in horsepower. Conversely, if you know the power in horsepower and the voltage, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the current in amps. It's important to note that this formula assumes a certain level of efficiency and power factor for the device being measured. In real-world applications, the actual relationship between horsepower and amps may vary based on factors such as motor efficiency, power factor, and other electrical characteristics.


What is ARCnet?

ARCNET (also CamelCased as ARCnet, an acronym from Attached Resource Computer NETwork) is a local area network (LAN) protocol, similar in purpose to Ethernet or Token Ring. ARCNET was the first widely available networking system for microcomputers and became popular in the 1980s for office automation tasks. It has since gained a following in the embedded systems market, where certain features of the protocol are especially useful. Original ARCNET used RG-62/U coax cable of 93Ω impedance and either passive or active hubs in a star-wired bus topology, a layout eventually copied by modern twisted pair Ethernet LANs. At the time of its greatest popularity ARCNET enjoyed two major advantages over Ethernet. One was the star-wired bus; this was much easier to build and expand (and was more readily maintainable) than the clumsy linear bus Ethernet of the time. Another was cable distance - ARCNET coax cable runs could extend 2000 feet (610 m) between active hubs or between an active hub and an end node, while the RG-58 (50Ω) 'thin' Ethernet most widely used at that time was limited to a maximum run of 600 feet (183 m) from end to end. Of course, ARCNET required either an active or passive hub between nodes if there were more than two nodes in the network, while thin Ethernet allowed nodes to be spaced anywhere along the linear coax cable, but the ARCNET passive hubs were very inexpensive. Passive hubs limited the distance between node and active hub to 100 feet (30 m). More importantly, the "interconnected stars" cabling topology made it easy to add and remove nodes without taking the whole network down, and much easier to diagnose and isolate failures within a complex LAN. To mediate access to the bus, ARCNET uses a token passing scheme, a bit different from that used by Token Ring. When peers are inactive, a single "token" message is passed around the network from machine to machine, and no peer is allowed to use the bus unless it has the token. If a particular peer wishes to send a message, it waits to receive the token, sends its message, and then passes the token on to the next station. Because ARCNET is implemented as a distributed star, the token cannot be passed machine to machine around a ring. Instead, each node is assigned an 8 bit address (usually via DIP switches), and when a new node joins the network a "reconfig" occurs, wherein each node learns the address of the node immediately above it. The token is then passed directly from one node to the next. Historically, each approach had its advantages: ARCNET added a small delay on an inactive network as a sending station waited to receive the token, but Ethernet's performance degraded drastically if too many peers attempted to broadcast at the same time, due to the time required for the slower processors of the day to process and recover from collisions. ARCNET had slightly lower best-case performance (viewed by a single stream), but was much more predictable. ARCNET also has the advantage that it achieved its best aggregate performance under the highest loading, approaching asymptotically its maximum throughput. While the best case performance was less than Ethernet, the general case was equivalent and the worst case was dramatically better. An Ethernet network could collapse when too busy due to excessive collisions. An ARCNET would keep on going at normal (or even better) throughput. Throughput on a multi-node collision-based Ethernet was limited to between 40% and 60% of bandwidth usage (depending on source). Although 2.5 Mbit/s ARCNET could at one time outperform a 10 Mbit/s Ethernet in a busy office on slow processors, ARCNET ultimately gave way to Ethernet as improved processor speeds reduced the impact of collisions on overall throughput, and Ethernet costs dropped. In the early 1980s ARCNET was much cheaper than Ethernet, in particular for PCs. For example in 1985 SMC sold ARCNET cards for around $300 whilst an Ungermann-Bass Ethernet card plus transceiver could cost $500. Another significant difference is that ARCNET provides the sender with a concrete acknowledgment (or not) of successful delivery at the receiving end before the token passes on to the next node, permitting much faster fault recovery within the higher level protocols (rather than having to wait for a timeout on the expected replies). ARCnet also doesn't waste network time transmitting to a node not ready to receive the message, since an initial inquiry (done at hardware level) establishes that the recipient is able and ready to receive the larger message before it is sent across the bus. One further advantage that ARCNET enjoyed over collision-based Ethernet is that it guarantees equitable access to the bus by everyone on the network. Although it might take a short time to get the token depending on the number of nodes and the size of the messages currently being sent about, you will always receive it within a predictable maximum time; thus it is deterministic. This made ARCNET an ideal real-time networking system, which explains its use in the embedded systems and process control markets. Token Ring has similar qualities, but is much more expensive to implement than ARCNET. In spite of ARCNET's deterministic operation and historic suitability for real-time environments such as process control, the general availability of switched gigabit Ethernet and Quality of service capabilities in Ethernet switches has all but eliminated ARCNET today. At first the system was deployed using RG-62/U coax cable (commonly used in IBM mainframe environments to connect 3270 terminals and controllers), but later added support for twisted-pair and fibre media. At ARCNET's lower speeds (2.5 Mbit/s), Cat-3 cable is good enough to run ARCNET. Some ARCNET twisted-pair products supported cable runs over 2000' on standard CAT-3 cable, far beyond anything Ethernet could do on any kind of copper cable. (Indeed, ARCNET has been demonstrated running successfully across coat hanger wire!)[citation needed] In the early 90s, Thomas-Conrad Corporation developed a 100 Mbit/s topology called TCNS based on the ARCNET protocol, which also supported RG-62, twisted-pair, and fiber optic media. TCNS enjoyed some success until the availability of lower-cost 100 Mbit/s Ethernet put an end to the general deployment of ARCNET.


What is the difference between Integrated Circuits and Printed Circuit Boards?

to the man in the street: An integrated circuit is something like an eprom ( a small unit like a chunk of chocolate) that is usually soldered onto a circuit board. A printed circuit board is a slab of board with holes in it. (like a smaller version of a pegboard) that has lines of copper or similar printed on it for the purpose of connecting all the integrated circuits and resisters together. short answer = Size breadboard = insulation with holes where you mount components and run wires to interconnect them printed circuit board= insulator with copper laminated. copper is etched away to leave wires .. sometimes in several lamentations components are soldered into holes drilled in the wires Hybrid module= usually a ceramic insulator with copper laminated wires components in beam lead packages electron beam welded to the copper integrated circuit = the insulator is the substrate usually a diode done over most of the Si wafer in the first diffusion components are built by diffusing different materials in more and more layers packages or carriers 7400 ic dip 1" x 1/2" surface mount 1/4" x 1/8" beam lead .050" x .025" SSI MSI LSI small scale, medium scale, large scale... integration has to do with the color of the light red light 760nm won let you work much smaller than 1 micron... blue light 350Nm maybe 0.5 micron uv perhaps .2micron xrays gamma rays are a bit more difficult to mask and control so electron beams are used for smaller stuff perhaps tunneling electrons can bring it down some. perhaps an order of magnitude breakthrough will give us nanotek
