EIDE will be an enhanced IDE for languages including, but not limited to, EEL, PHP, C/C++/C#, most web scripting/markup languages, and Python. Color coding will be implemented via plugins. And you can come help develop it, just contact vbAlexDOSMan.
This standard allowed for two IDE channels that can each support two devices in peaceful coexistence. It also allowed for hard drives up to 8 GB in size...
Expands upon an industry accepted standard to meet the needs of improved processor speeds and bus technologies. It improves device support, provides greater than 528 MB capacity, increases data transfer rates, and provides support for non-hard drive peripherals (such as CD-ROMs).
EIDE is an interface which allows the attachment of up to 2 devices per connector. See also ATA-2.
Shortened to EIDE. A term that is commonly applied to a number of extended specifications based on the original IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) specification. IDE was designed to allow various devices to communicate on a single bus using inexpensive electronics. EIDE extended the standard to improve data transfer rates and open the IDE bus up to a variety of devices, including CD-ROM and CD-RW drives, DVD-ROM drives, and high-capacity hard disk drives. The ATAPI command set is used to control certain devices that comply with this standard, such as optical disc drives.
A enhanced version of the IDE hard disk standard capable of transfer rates up to 7 Mbytes/second.
An improved version of IDE that supports large hard disks, faster access speeds and DMA. It is actually two controllers providing primary and secondary channels, which handle two devices each, and can also talk to CD-ROM's and tape drives via Atapi.
Short for Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics. An extension of the IDE standard, Enhanced IDE is a hardware interface standard for disk drive designs that house control circuits in the drives themselves. It allows for standardized interfaces to the system bus while providing for advanced features, such as burst data transfer and direct data access. Enhanced IDE accommodates drives as large as 8.4 gigabytes (IDE supports up to 528 megabytes). It supports the ATA-2 interface, which permits transfer rates up to 13.3 megabytes per second (IDE permits up to 3.3 megabytes per second), and the ATAPI interface, which connects drives for CD-ROMs, optical discs and tapes, and multiple channels. Most PCs have Enhanced IDE drives, which are cheaper than SCSI drives and provide much of the same functionality.
Hard disk interface that provides data transfer up to 13 MB/s
A high-speed, low cost interface to connect up to 4 devices found on 99% of PCs. Excellent interface for hard discs, tape drives and CD-ROMs. ethernet An access protocol that runs over coaxial or twisted pair wires with a typical data-transfer rate of 10 and 100 million bits per second.
