Early storage devices such as delay lines, punched cards, paper tape, magnetic tape, and magnetic drums were used instead.

Early models of the PDP-11 had no dedicated bus for input / output, but only a memory bus called the Unibus, as input and output devices were mapped to memory addresses.

Early devices were not practical power producers, but more advanced designs producing usable power have become a major source of mechanical power over the last 300 years, beginning with applications for removing water from mines using vacuum engines.

Early computerized slot machines were sometimes defrauded through the use of cheating devices, such as the " slider " or " monkey paw " used by notorious slot machine cheat Tommy Glenn Carmichael.

Early versions of these devices simply " inverted " one important component of the TV signal, re-inverting it at the client end for display.

Early optical character recognition could be traced to activity around two issues: expanding telegraphy and creating reading devices for the blind.

Early oxide breakdown technologies exhibited a variety of scaling, programming, size and manufacturing problems that prevented volume production of memory devices based on these technologies.

Early devices for lie detection include an 1895 invention of Cesare Lombroso used to measure changes in blood pressure for police cases, a 1904 device by Vittorio Benussi used to measure breathing, and an abandoned project by American William Marston which used blood pressure to examine German prisoners of war ( POWs ).

Early recorders were typically hand-held battery-powered devices with built-in microphones and recording automatic gain control, intended for dictation and journalists.

Early Telechrome devices used two electron guns aimed at either side of a phosphor plate.

Early cold-cathode devices included the Geissler tube and Plucker tube, and early cathode ray tubes.

Early minicomputer-based typesetting software introduced in the 1970s and early 1980s, such as Datalogics Pager, Penta, Atex, Miles 33, Xyvision, troff from Bell Labs, and IBM's Script product with CRT terminals, were better able to drive these electromechanical devices, and used text markup languages to describe type and other page formatting information.

Early successes led to ever increasing innovative agricultural machinery and labor saving devices.

Early remote control devices began to emerge in the late 1800s.

Early sound quality of tape recordings was poor but as the C-Cassette technology evolved, with stereo recording, Chromium tapes and noise reduction, soon HiFi quality devices become possible.

Early G3s with Revision A ROMs do not support slave devices on their IDE controllers, limiting them to one device per bus ( normally one optical drive and one hard disk ).

Early terminals were inexpensive devices but very slow compared to punched cards or paper tape for input, but as the technology improved and video displays were introduced, terminals pushed these older forms of interaction from the industry.
