If your PC has the 9-pin connector, you will need a serial port adapter which converts
the 9-pin connector to a 25-pin connector. This is a cable which has a 9-pin connector
on one end and a 25-pin male connector on the other end.
• Parallel Port — This port is used to connect to some printers.
• Disk Drives — PCs come in several basic types, some of which are as follows:
— Single floppy disk, no hard disk — This type PC is the most basic
configuration. The PC has a single floppy disk drive, with no hard (fixed)
disk. The floppy drive is referred to as drive
A
.
— Dual floppy disk, no hard disk — This type PC is identified by the two
floppy disk drives installed. One floppy drive is referred to as drive
A
. The
second is referred to as drive
B
.
— Single floppy disk with hard disk — This type PC has a single floppy disk
drive and a hard disk, which can typically store 10 or more megabytes of
data. The single floppy disk drive is referred to as drive
A
, and the hard
disk is usually referred to as drive
C
.
Other combinations of floppy and hard drives are possible but all that is required is a
single floppy drive as a minimum. The procedures in this manual for installing a new
generic program indicate using drive
A
.
Monitor
The monitor, sometimes called a display screen, may be either monochrome or color.
Keyboard
The keyboard is used to enter commands. This section reviews some of the features
of the keyboard and points out some of the special keys.
The keyboard is divided into two different sections:
• Typewriter section — This area has the alphanumeric keys that resemble the
layout of a typewriter. In particular, you should locate the
ENTER
key
(sometimes referred to as
RETURN
). This key is located on the right side of the
typewriter section. It usually has the word
ENTER
or
RETURN
printed on the
key. When you are asked to select
<ENTER>
or
RETURN
, you should
momentarily depress that key, or equivalent.
• Special Keys — The keyboard has many special keys which are interpreted
differently by various software packages. Locate the
CANCEL
or
DELETE
key.
This key may be used to abort a command.
