Silicon and Silicone and MBps vs. Mbps

(The following is borrowed from Bob Metcalfe (the inventor of Ethernet).... and makes a point very clearly. You can see the whole article  HERE. His column was the first I read when InfoWorld arrived each week.)

"Let me digress here to make a fine point perfectly clear: Just as silicon and silicone are not the same, neither are MBps (with a capital B) and Mbps (with a lowercase b).

MBps is megaBYTES per second, a term used by disk folks. Mbps is megaBITS per second, a term used by network folks.

They differ by a factor of eight: 1MBps equals 8Mbps. Ultra160 SCSI operates at 160MBps, which is 1,080Mbps, or 1.08Gbps.

Of course, SCSI is not the only standard that's speeding up. Ethernet, for example, has gone from 10Mbps to 100Mbps to 1Gbps, and soon 10Gbps."

Thanks, Bob.... that makes it PERFECTLY clear.

 

Sometimes, I work with older computers, and sometimes finding the files needed is beyond difficult.

 

I recently set up a computer for one of the Nun's at my childrens school. It's your basic 286 running DOS and Professional Write (a super word processor that never made the jump to Windows).

 

The computer is a Wang Laboratories PC240-3.. a 286 that has a number of unique quirks.

 

The big problem is that this computer does not have a setup program in BIOS, and if you need to change any of the settings, you need a program called setup.com that is unavailable anywhere on the web. I had to re-set the setting when the backup battery (7 years old) went dead. Finding the file involved tearing the machine apart, moving the Hard Drive and it's controller over to another antique (of the 486 variety) and salvaging the file from the Hard Drive.

 

Well, if you have one of these beasts (a Wang 240-3) and need the file... here it is..
