Baud rate A measure of data transmission speed. Usually equivalent to bits per second. BIOS Basic Input/Output System. Routines in ROM that handle the basic input/output functions of the operating system. In the ActionNote, the Setup program is contained in the computer's ROM BIOS. Bif A binary digit (0 or 1). The smallest unit of information a computer can store. Byte A sequence or group of eight bits that represents one character of data in the ASCII encoding system. Character Any number, letter, punctuation mark, or graphic symbol which can be represented by one byte of data. Chip A hardware component of your system (formally known as an integrated circuit). Examples of chips include memory chips and the microprocessor. Clock speed See CPU speed. Glossary 3
