34
Q

What is Progammed Data Processor

A

Programmed Data Processor (abbreviated PDP) was the name of a series of minicomputers made by Digital Equipment Corporation. The name ‘PDP’ intentionally avoided the use of the term ‘computer’ because at the time of the first PDPs, computers had a reputation of being large, complicated, and expensive machines, and the venture capitalists behind Digital (esp. Georges Doriot) wouldn’t support Digital’s attempting to build a “computer”. The word “minicomputer” was not invented yet. So instead, Digital used their existing line of logic modules to build a Programmable Data Processor and aimed it at a market which couldn’t afford the larger computers.

The various PDP machines can generally be grouped into families based on word length.

Q

What is a transistor?

A

A transistor is a basic electrical component that alters the flow of electrical current. Transistors are the building blocks of integrated circuits, such as computer processors, or CPUs. Modern CPUs contain millions of individual transistors that are microscopic in size.

36
Q

Hard Copy

A

A hard copy is a printed document. It may be a text file, photograph, drawing, or any other type of printable file. For example, instead of e-mailing a business memo, it may be sent out as a hard copy, or an actual physical paper containing the memo.

Q

What is a Drum Plotter?

A

A type of pen plotter that wraps the paper around a drum with a pin feed attachment. The drum turns to produce one direction of the plot, and the pens move to provide the other. The plotter was the first output device to print graphics and large engineering drawings. Using different colored pens, it could draw in color long before color inkjet printers became viable. Contrast with flatbed plotter.
