Connectors define the input from application to vertex processing stage, as well as the attributes to be interpolated as input to fragment processing.

* IBM 1816 Printer Keyboard ( System Printer )

The " Lombard " appeared in 1999, ( AKA: Bronze Keyboard ) a thinner, lighter, and faster ( 333 or 400 MHz ) PowerBook with a longer battery life and had both USB and SCSI built in and was a New World ROM Mac, and then the " Pismo " in 2000, which replaced the single SCSI port with two FireWire ports, updated the PowerBook line to AGP graphics, a 100 MHz bus speed, and DVD-ROM optical drives standard, in addition to dropping the " G3 " from the PowerBook name.

* Keyboard port

The cassette drive would be able to provide both data storage and an audio track simultaneously, allowing for interactive audio recording and playback under computer control, and a secondary 6502 microprocessor inside the Keyboard Component would be programmed to handle all of these extra capabilities independently of the Intellivision's CP1610 CPU.

Keyboard player Bill Cuomo came up with the signature instrumental lick and together with the band and producer Val Garay created a completely new arrangement of the song, which was recorded the next day with no overdubs.

Featured on the cover of the January 1981 issue of Contemporary Keyboard magazine ( a story that was reprinted in Contemporary Keyboards book on the greatest rock keyboardists ), DeYoung described many of his steps along the way through his keyboard-playing career: He'd never played an acoustic piano until the recording session for 1972's " Lady "; he recorded the track for 1979's " Babe " in a friend's basement on a Rhodes electric piano he'd never touched before ; the odd feeling of switching back to playing accordion for the song " Boat On The River " and discovering how small the keys felt to his fingers after years of playing electric organs and pianos.

Her first performance with an orchestra was at the age of nine when she recorded Bach's Keyboard Concerto in F minor for Radio Moscow with conductor Aram Khachaturian.

In the October 1977 Dominic Milano interview of Keith Emerson in Keyboard Magazine ( at that time called " Contemporary Keyboard Magazine "), and much later on the band's DVD Beyond the Beginning, Emerson said the solo was recorded in one take.

The track " Moon Machine " was recorded for this album but not included ; it later appeared on a flexidisc in Keyboard Magazine ( March 1986 issue ), the 12-inch release of " Fourth Rendez-Vous " ( 1986 ), and the much later Images compilation album ( 1991 ).

DeYoung recounted to Contemporary Keyboard magazine for the January 1981 issue that the first time he ever played acoustic piano was when the band arrived at the recording studio to record " Lady " and saw the piano in the studio ; DeYoung had written the song on an electric piano, but decided to try it out on the piano instead, and liked the sound so much that he switched to the piano for the recorded version.

Keyboard shortcuts generally expedite common operations by reducing input sequences to a few keystrokes, hence the term " shortcut ".

For example, it was pre-dated by resistive membrane input pads such as used in the Model 3155 Keyboard from Keytronic, Inc. Transparent resistive membrane technology is presently used in PDAs such as the Palm Pilot, point-of-sale terminals, video poker machines, and information kiosks and other touch screens.

The Natural Keyboard Pro also included an internal two-port USB hub, which was commonly used to connect other input devices such as a mouse or trackball.

Keyboard input maps can also act like text converters.

* Direct connection to the 1131 Central Processing Unit by means of the 1132 Printer Attachment and an Expansion Adapter.

Through the use of the Printer Preferences program printers could be connected to the serial port as well.

IBM's original MDA included a parallel printer port ( hence its original name of " Monochrome Display and Printer Adapter "), thus avoiding the need for a separate parallel interface on computers fitted with an MDA.

A small desk accessory called Choose Printer allowed the printer driver and serial port to be selected for the connected printer.

It was a natural extension of Choose Printer to include the ability to select the LaserWriter and also which port was used to connect its network connection.

* Printer port forwarding connectors — allowed to plug printer into the Covox and use both ( playing audio and printing ) without reconnections, although not at the same time.

It was the 1401 that transferred input data from peripherals, such as the IBM 1402 Card Read-Punch, to tape, and transferred output data from tape to the card punch, the IBM 1403 Printer, or other peripherals.

Printer output is emulated and is displayed on screen.

* I / O ports: Expansion port, tape recorder connector ( 1200 baud variation on the Kansas City standard for data encoding ), aerial TV connector ( RF modulator ), composite video and RGB monitor output

Expansion port connector removed from motherboard but is still etched.

Expansion is possible via a dock connector which connects to a port replicator, offering two USB ports ( blocking the single port on the unit ), VGA, audio, AC power and Ethernet.

A Video Expansion port provided rudimentary signals for add-on adapters but alone could not directly generate a video signal ( Apple produced an LCD display and an RF-modulator for this port ; the latter shipped with early IIcs ).

* Expansion Capabilities-1 PCMCIA port ( potentially used for Modems, Ethernet NICs, etc.

In April 2008 in the UK Broussard's album ' Inside My Love ' ( which she had originally recorded in the late Nineties for Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label ) finally got its first-ever official release, through seasoned London soul music independent label Expansion Records.

Since the cassette port interface of the original IBM PC was never implemented on compatibles, cassette operations are not supported.

One popular program for converting Spectrum files from tape is Taper ; it allows connecting a cassette tape player to the line in port of a sound card, or — through a simple home-built device — to the parallel port of a PC.

The Nascom 1 and 2 were single-board computer kits issued in 1977 and 1979, respectively, based on the Zilog Z80 and including a keyboard and video interface, a serial port that could be used to store data on a tape cassette using the Kansas City standard, and two 8-bit parallel ports.

A cassette interface is similar to a modem connected to a serial port.

The same composite video port found on earlier Apple II models remained present ; however, gone were the cassette ports and internal DIP-16 game port.

* Input / Output: cassette port, light-pen port, two joystick ports, RGB monitor port, composite video port, television adapter output port, audio port, wired keyboard port, infrared keyboard sensor, serial port, two cartridge slots

The tape cassette port supplied both power and bi-directional data I / O.

Through the network of PET users in the UK they made contact with Graham Heggie in Coventry and Graham's knowledge of electronics meant that they quickly arrived at the idea of a shift register connected to the tape cassette port.

Commodore 64 cassette port

There is an RGB output, a RS232 / RS423 serial port, a Centronics printer port, two external joystick ports, two cassette interfaces, a ROM cartridge slot, and an ordinary expansion port.
