This sounds like a disk controller and possibly an I/O port. A disk drive has to have a controller. The controller is connected to the system bus or the southbridge chip, and that is how it is connected to the rest of the system. The controller uses a driver to tell the operating system how to communicate with it.
If you mean further back than that, then you may be referring to the chipset chips. There is a northbridge and a southbridge, and it is the southbridge that connects to the peripheral bus and to any disk controllers.
What else can I help you with?
What is electronics machine?
Any machine with the majority of its functionality implemented with electronic circuits.
What are the Components of second generation of computers?
Discrete components. Most components were the same as in first generation computers, but vacuum tubes were replaced with transistors. Operating voltages were correspondingly reduced and circuits sped up as a result.
What was inside the first modern computers that would get very hot?
The earliest electronic digital computers used hot cathode vacuum tubes. The cathodes of these tubes glowed red hot.The second generation electronic digital computers used transistors. These ran much much cooler than hot cathode vacuum tubes, but could still get warm. Even though individual transistors normally did not get hot, if the complete computer was not equipped with a cooling system it could accumulate enough heat to damage itself.The third generation electronic digital computers used bipolar integrated circuits. Due to the number of transistors in these integrated circuits, some types got hot enough to burn your skin if you touched them.Modern fourth generation electronic digital computers use field effect transistor integrated circuits and microprocessors. While these generally operate cooler than bipolar integrated circuits, often the microprocessors and a few other high speed integrated circuits can still get hot enough to burn your skin if you touched them.
Who is credited with the creation of the first handheld calculator?
The handheld electronic calculator was made possible by the development of VLSI integrated circuits (1000 to 10000 logic gates per chip). Hewlett Packard introduced the first one with their HP-35 model.
Can we process data in computers in analogue form?
Absolutely, but those are called analog computers and operate very differently than the way digital computers do.Electronic analog computers long predate electronic digital computers and until the invention of the microprocessor were almost always less expensive than electronic digital computers. In some cases hybrid computers were built composed of a digital computer, an analog computer, and converter circuits so that data could be transferred back and forth between the two computing sections of the machine.The most common type of electronic analog computer was the electronic differential analyzer, but there are many other types that have been built for solving specific classes of problems (e.g. electronic harmonic analyzers, electronic finite element analyzers) via electronic analog means.
Consist entirely of electronic components such as integrated circuits?
Solid State Media consists entirely of electronic components, such as integrated circuits.

the processor
WHAT IS Tiny piece of silicon with electronic circuits the CPU is one?
Tiny piece of silicon with electronic circuits in the CPU is the one known as a the processor. This piece will contain all the components of an electric circuit.
How does the computer pulse the electricity?
A computer is composed of millions of electronic circuits, each of which is composed of several electronic components. Without going into the details of several quarters of college electronics classes followed by several quarters of college digital logic classes, what happens is the electronic circuits operate as designed using the transistors to switch the electricity and the other components in the circuits to coordinate the timing of the switching and/or whether or not to switch.
What are the five electronic components used to build circuits?
I Know 4 of them: source, load, wire(s), and switch

What are tiny electric circuits printed on thin peice of silicon called?
They are called "integrated circuits" (ICs) or "microchips." These circuits are composed of electronic components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors that are interconnected to perform specific functions.

What is the purpose of soldering?
Soldering is the process of using a bubble of hot metal to bond two electronic components or circuits together.
Why do some electronic circuits need negative voltages?
Because , in some cases for a negative voltage the circuit components will be biased .
