This 9-pin plug was standard of many systems of the era, and the joysticks were fundamentally compatible with the ZX Spectrum's Kempston Interface and the Sega Master System.

The Kempston Interface, produced by Kempston Micro Electronics, was the generic name for any interface on Sinclair's ZX Spectrum series of computers that allowed joysticks complying with the de facto Atari 2600 standard to be used with the machine.

Problems had also been reported with the Kempston Interface breaking down on the newer models and it faded slowly into obscurity, although the option to use Kempston joysticks remained in games until the end of the computer's shelf life.

The joystick ports were not compatible with the popular Kempston interface, and thus did not work with most Spectrum games released prior to the launch of the ZX Interface 2.

In 1896 the parish was divided into Kempston Urban District 1, 255 acres ( 5. 1 km² ) and the civil parish of Kempston Rural 3, 770 acres ( 15 km² ).

For borough election purposes the town is divided into three wards called Kempston North, Kempston East and Kempston South.

This is a consequence of the division of the old larger Kempston parish in 1896 into Kempston town and Kempston Rural.

It used the Atari 2600 standard DE-9 connector and was primary designed to work with the ZX Spectrum Kempston joystick interface but also with the compatible ports built into other home computers such as the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 (& Vic-20 ) and later Commodore Amiga and Atari ST.

The controller uses the prevailing de facto standard Atari-style 9-pin connector and can be connected without modification to all other machines compatible with that standard, including the Atari 2600, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum with Kempston interface or similar.

Kempston produced a number of joystick interfaces for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum to allow normal Atari-style DE-9 connector joysticks to be used with it.

The Digital Editing System, as Soundstream called it, consisted of a DEC PDP-11 / 60 minicomputer running a custom software package called DAP ( Digital Audio Processor ), a Braegen 14 "- platter hard disk drive, a storage oscilloscope to display audio waveforms to be edited, a video display terminal for controlling the system, and interface cards that plugged into the PDP-11's Unibus slots ( the Digital Audio Interface, or DAI ) that provided analog and digital audio input and output for interfacing to both Soundstream's digital recorders and conventional analog tape recorders as well.

As the full MPEG-2 transport data stream comes out of the demodulator, and error correction units, the DTV Receiver sends it through the card plugged into the Common Interface, before it is processed by the MPEG demultiplexer in the receiver.

The goals of this new working group are to define enhanced features to support double-wide boards ; add enhancements to support 600W single-slot boards and 800W double-slot boards ; add support for double-sided shelves with full sized boards plugged into both the front and rear of the shelf ; and add support for 10Gbs signaling on the Base Interface.

Based on the same Gecko layout engine as Mozilla Firefox, K-Meleon uses native Windows application programming interface ( API ) to create the user interface, instead of using Mozilla's cross-platform XML User Interface Language ( XUL ) layer, and as a result, is tightly integrated into the look and feel of the Windows desktop ; this approach is similar to that of Galeon and Epiphany ( for the GNOME desktop ), and Camino ( for Mac OS X ).

JNDI ( Java Naming and Directory Interface ) organizes its names into a hierarchy.

The ST-506 Interface and its variants ( ST-412, ST-412RLL ) were de facto industry standards for disk drives well into the 1990s.

In 2004, the IEEE and IEC combined their respective standards into a " Dual Logo " IEEE / IEC standard IEC-60488-1, Standard for Higher Performance Protocol for the Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation-Part 1: General, replaces IEEE-488. 1 / IEC-60625-1, and IEC-60488-2, Part 2: Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common Commands, replaces IEEE-488. 2 / IEC-60625-2.

The components within a Conferencing System can be divided up into several different layers: User Interface, Conference Control, Control or Signal Plane and Media Plane.

Version 4 of the developer tools consolidates the Xcode editing tools and Interface Builder into a single application, among other enhancements.

The Standard Interface Rack, or SIR, was tested today by Searfoss to demonstrate that equipment can be removed from one rack location and reintegrated into another by a single crew member during orbital operations while maintaining reliable mechanical, data and power interfaces.

In computer networking, the Transport Layer Interface ( TLI ) was the networking API provided by AT & T UNIX System V Release 3 ( SVR3 ) in 1987 and continued into Release 4 ( SVR4 ).

One significant difference from previous versions of Windows NT is that the Graphics Device Interface ( GDI ) is moved into kernel mode rather than being in user mode in the CSRSS process.

* Transport Driver Interface, used by NT series Windows to abstract level 7 APIs into a common protocol for the Transport Protocol layer

: A second option was for the end user to develop an API ( Application Programming Interface ), or program, to integrate the data from each telematics provider into his or her database.

The WIC ( WAN Interface Card ) may contain an integrated CSU / DSU that can be inserted into a router slot.

All DASH recorders primarily use the SDIF-2 ( Sony Digital Interface Format-2 ) as a digital interface, which is slightly different than the S / PDIF / AES-EBU that nearly all other digital audio recorders use, but is technically superior because SDIF-2's word clock is not multiplexed into the bitstream.

* Inter RF Subsystem Interface ( ISSI ) – standard specifies the interface between RF subsystems which will allow them to be connected into wide area networks

As the ZX Spectrum became hugely popular, the lack of a mass storage system became a problem for more serious users and while Sinclair's response, the ZX Interface 1 and ZX Microdrive, while very cheap and technologically innovative, was also rather limited.

Like Sinclair's own ZX Interface 1, the DISCiPLE was a wedge-shaped unit fitting underneath the Spectrum.

A peripheral from Sinclair Research for its ZX Spectrum home computer, the ZX Interface 1 was launched in 1983.

The ZX Interface 1 was incompatible with some of later ZX Spectrum models such as the + 2 and + 3, due to differences in ROM and expansion connector, therefore wasn't possible to connect and use the Microdrive units.
