What is SCSI "termination power"?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
least one device (SCSI card or any SCSI drive) must provide power for the SCSI terminators by feeding 5 volts onto the TERMPWR line on the SCSI bus. Usually, termination power is fed through a diode to prevent backfeeding from a higher voltage source in case some other device is also supplying termination power. A good implementation will have a fuse to protect against shorts and a capacitor to cope with a sudden rise in termination power drain.

What is "Continuous RMS Power"?

Barbetta: FAQ
This is what we mean when we say "Engineering Watts". Engineers need to have a measurement of power that gives them the accurate technical data they need for their designs. RMS power is the way the AC power from the Power Company is measured. For example, the wall sockets we find everywhere are capable of providing about 1750 Watts Continuous RMS Power. (Anything more than that, and a fuse will blow.) Audio amplifiers are also rated according to Continuous RMS Watts.

What is "Peak Power"?

Barbetta: FAQ
Understanding this one isn't too bad. We've all seen a speaker cone moving back and forth while driven by an amplifier. When the cone is at the peak of its travel in one direction, it is being driven by a certain amount of peak power. When it passes through the halfway point on it's way to the opposite peak of travel, it is using no power at all. It is at zero power. Then, when it gets to the opposite peak of travel, it is at peak power again.

What is the "power" metric (QppD)?

TPC-D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The power metric is based on a geometric mean of the 17 TPC-D queries, the insert test and the delete test. It measures the ability of the system to give a single user the best possible response time by harnessing all available resources. The inverse of the computed geometric mean is converted to hours from seconds and scaled by the database volume (SF) to obtain QppD.

What happened to the "Softly" single in 1999?

Lamb : frequently asked questions

Surprisingly enough, promo copies are much more common - a one-track CD & three-track 12" are fairly easy to locate..
