The name originated from the Basic Input Output System used in the CP / M operating system ( released in 1976 ), where the BIOS was loaded from disk, with only a small boot loader program stored in read-only memory.

The term BIOS ( Basic Input / Output System ) was invented by Gary Kildall and first appeared in the CP / M operating system in 1975, describing the machine-specific part of CP / M loaded during boot time that interfaces directly with the hardware ( a CP / M machine usually has only a simple boot loader in its ROM ).

Input was via five-hole punched tape and output was via a teleprinter.

The MVS core was almost entirely written in Assembler XF, although a few modules were written in PL / S, but not the performance-sensitive ones, in particular not the Input / Output Supervisor ( IOS ).

The Open Sound Control ( OSC ) protocol was developed at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies ( CNMAT ) of the University of California, Berkely, and is supported by software programs such as Reaktor, Max / MSP and Csound, and some newer hardware controllers, including the Lemur Input Device.

Input was through a three-button unit worn on the belt, and output was through Reflection Tech's Private Eye.

Input was fed in on punched cards, which would invariably have read errors.

The only proprietary component of the original PC architecture was the BIOS ( Basic Input / Output System ).

# Input from key initial S / 360-67 sites, who had debated the alternatives during the initial system design period, and had recommended 31 bits ( instead of the 32-bit design that was ultimately chosen at the time ).

Input was possible from an IBM card reader, and an IBM card punch was used for output.

This Input / Output mapping scheme was regarded as an advantage, as it freed up the processor's limited address space.

The KIM-1, short for Keyboard Input Monitor, was a small 6502-based single-board computer developed and produced by MOS Technology, Inc. and launched in 1976.

At the time, 1 megabyte was considered a relatively large amount of memory, so the designers of the IBM Personal Computer reserved the first 640 kilobytes for use by applications and the operating system and the remaining 384 kilobytes for the BIOS ( Basic Input / Output System ) and memory for add-on devices.

Apple was aware of these problems, and starting with the Macintosh IIfx they attempted to address them by including two dedicated " Input / Output Processors " ( IOP ), customized MOS 6502s running at 10 MHz.

This pre-defined star list formed the Hipparcos Input Catalogue: each star in the final Hipparcos Catalogue was contained in the Input Catalogue.

The Input Catalogue was compiled by the INCA Consortium over the period 1982 — 89, finalised pre-launch, and published both digitally and in printed form

* Wings or Audio / Video Input / Output Card was an A / V " personality card " which, in addition to the audio I / O, included composite and S-Video capture and output.

Input to the machine was performed in the form of punched paper tape, after experiments with punch cards proved unsatisfactory.

“ Input ” was the electronic washing machine studied for the intuitive usability of the dashboard, while “ Amie ” was a washing machine designed especially for such users as the elderly, visually impaired and blind people.

After a famine in 2001 and years of chronic hunger and poverty, in 2005 the small African country of Malawi launched the " Agricultural Input Subsidy Program " by which vouchers are given to smallholder farmers to buy subsidized nitrogen fertilizer and maize seeds.

Input return loss () is a scalar measure of how close the actual input impedance of the network is to the nominal system impedance value and, expressed in logarithmic magnitude, is given by

Input is received via hearing, sight, smell, taste, or touch and then analyzed through either rational or irrational thought.

* Input 0 () is straight through ()

There, the HPF presents a low impedance to the signal, so the signal passes through the HPF, and appears at the lower Input terminal.

A low frequency signal with a similar instantaneous voltage characteristic first passes through the LPF, then the woofer, and appears at the lower Input terminal.

A user still needed three VTRs and a controller to perform A / B roll linear video editing ( LE ), as the Toaster would serve merely as a switcher ( which could be triggered through General Purpose Input / Output ( GPI ) to switch on cue in such a configuration ) but the Toaster itself had no edit controlling capabilities.

Input / Output ( I / O ) adapters can be exclusively " owned " by LPARs or shared by LPARs through an appliance partition known as the Virtual I / O Server ( VIOS ).

General Purpose Input / Output ( GPIO ) is a generic pin on a chip whose behavior ( including whether it is an input or output pin ) can be controlled ( programmed ) through software.

Input of water is regulated mainly through ingested fluids, which, in turn, depends on thirst.

Input that reaches the cerebellar cortex is processed in many ways ; eventually whatever happens in cerebellar cortex exits the cerebellum through a synapse in the cerebellar nuclei.

Elements can be entered and modified directly on screen, or through the Input Bar.

* Input: two custom game controllers, hardwired to the console ( original release ) or removable ( Channel F System II )

Terminal transmission control protocols such as IBM 3270 Poll / Select, or Burroughs TD830 Contention Mode protocol use the EOT character to terminate a communications sequence between two cooperating stations ( such as a host multiplexer or Input / Output terminal ).

* 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

* Input / Output: SCSI internal connector, SCSI2 external port, DSP, video output, proprietary port for NeXT laser printer, two RS-423 serial ports, 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 Ethernet

The system could be configured with one or two Model D IOSs ( Input / Output Subsystems ) and an optional Solid State Disk ( SSD ) of 256 MB to 4GB capacity.

Input dependence does not constrain the execution order of two statements, but it is useful in scalar replacement of array elements.

* Measures two values ( I for Input, O for Output ) per target.

Input and display software obviously needs to know about the structure of the multibyte encoding scheme but other software generally doesn't need to know if a pair of bytes represent two separate characters or just one character.

Input was by keyboard.

* Input method editor, a program or operating system component that allows computer users to enter characters and symbols not found on their keyboard

The T3 included Active Input Technology with Virtual Graffiti 2, a Virtual keyboard, and the typical Tungsten line slider.

Input is done with a hex keyboard that has 16 keys which range from 0 to F. The ' 8 ', ' 4 ', ' 6 ', and ' 2 ' keys are typically used for directional input.

** Nalgaeset Hangul Input Method Editor ( 날개셋 한글 입력기 ); Kim Yongmook, South Korea )-A Hangul input method which is especially made for the 3 ( se )- beolsik keyboard layout.
