DMA channel Direct Memory Access channel. A channel for transferring data from your computer to its peripherals without involving CPU resources. DRAM Dynamic Random Access Memory. A type of memory that stores large amounts of information. ECP Extended Capabilities Port. The parallel port mode in your computer that provides bidirectional signals for the parallel port and includes other enhanced functions. expansion bus An internal bus that provides high-speed connections for option cards and built-in components that enhance the performance of your computer. Extended memory Memory above 1MB that is accessed by 386-, 486-, and 586-class processors operating in protected or virtual mode. Flash ROM Non-volatile, read/ write ROM that can be erased and reprogrammed using the normal voltages inside your computer. This capability provides the computer and its peripheral devices with a means of storing data without needing a constant supply of electricity. Glossary 3
