Unlike RAM, ROM retains its contents even after you turn off the computer. Root directory The top-level directory on a diskette or hard disk. The root directory is designated by a backslash (\). All other directories are subdirectories of the root directory or of other subdirectories. RS-232C A standard serial interface. You can easily connect an RS-232C-compatible device to your Equity LT-386SX. Scratch RAM A portion of RAM used for running OS/2, VDISK, or certain other programs.

Sector A contiguous section of a disk track that provides a location at which the computer can access data. Self test A diagnostic procedure the computer performs automatically when you turn it on. Serial A type of interface in which data is transmitted one bit at a time (as distinguished from parallel, a type of interface in which data bits are transmitted in groups). 18 Glossary
