IEC The International Electrotechnical Commission is based in

Geneva, Switzerland.

LTO Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology was developed jointly by

HP, IBM and Quantum to provide a clear and viable choice in an

increasingly complex array of tape storage options.

LTO technology is an "open format" technology, which means

that users will have multiple sources of product and media. The

"open" nature of LTO technology also provides a means of

enabling compatibility between different vendors' offerings.

The Ultrium format is the "high capacity" implementation of LTO

technology.

PCI The PCI bus typically runs at speeds of 33 MHz or 66 MHz and is

usually 32 bits wide. This means that it passes 32 bits of data

simultaneously as if down 32 separate wires. Some of the most

recent computers include "wider" 64-bit PCI buses, and already

certain very high-end video capture cards offer improved

performance if connected to a 64-bit PCI bus.

RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks is a technology through

which several physical storage disks are grouped into an array

that appears to an operating system as one or more physical

devices.

RS-232C Short for Recommended Standard-232C, a standard interface

approved by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) for

connecting serial devices. This standard is for

ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER between computer equipment

and accessories. Data is transmitted bit by bit in a serial fashion.

The RS-232 standard defines the function and use of all 25 pins of

a DB-25 type connector.
