High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Apple A4 is a package on package (PoP) system-on-a-chip (SoC) designed by Apple and manufactured by Samsung. It combines an ARM based CPU with a PowerVR GPU with an emphasis on power efficiency. The chip commercially debuted with the release of Apple's iPad tablet; followed shortly by the iPhone 4 smartphone. Apple A4 is based on the ARM processor architecture. The first version released runs at 1 GHz and contains a Cortex-A8 CPU core paired with a PowerVR SGX 535 graphics processor (GPU) built on Samsung's 45 nm process. The Cortex-A8 core used in the A4 is thought to use performance enhancements developed by chip designer Intrinsity (which was subsequently acquired by Apple) in...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Apple II line of computers supported a number of Apple II peripheral cards, expansion cards which plugged into slots on the motherboard, and added to and extended the functionality of the base system. All Apple II models except the Apple IIc had at least seven 50-pin expansion slots, labeled Slots 1 though 7. These slots could hold printed circuit board cards with double-sided edge connectors, 25 "fingers" on each side, with 100 mil (0.1 inch) spacing between centers. Perhaps the most common cards found on early Apple II systems were the Disk II Controller Card, which allowed users of earlier Apple II's to use the Apple Disk II, a 5 1/4 inch, 140 kB floppy disk drive; and the Apple 16K...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Apple IIgs demoscene goes back to the days of the original Apple II series in the 1980s, when software crackers would put "signature screens" at the beginnings of games of which they had broken the copy protection. Later on, other groups would release what were termed "show-offs" in some quarters, programs that did interesting things or took advantage of little-known features and techniques to create a unique effect. Many of the extra programs included on Beagle Bros disks fell into this category. Applesoft BASIC was a favorite tool as it was widely available and allowed easy machine-level access through its PEEK and POKE statements. Данное издание не является...

The Apple Display Connector (ADC) is a proprietary modification of the DVI connector that combines analog and digital video signals, USB, and power all in one cable. Apple used ADC for its LCD-based Apple Cinema Displays and their final CRT displays, before deciding to use standard DVI connectors on later models. First implemented in the July 2000 Power Mac G4 and G4 Cube, ADC disappeared from displays in June 2004 when Apple introduced the aluminum-clad 20", 23", and 30" Apple Cinema Displays, which feature separate DVI, USB and FireWire connectors, and their own power supplies. The ADC was still standard on the Power Mac G5 until April 2005, when new models meant the only remaining Apple...

The Paladin was a conceptual combination of a computer, fax machine, scanner, and phone all-in-one designed by Apple Computer as a single office solution for a small business. It had a monochrome LCD screen and a phone handset attached to it. Very few were prototyped and they are a rare find. Substantial conceptual work was done by the product design firm IDEO. Monochrome describes paintings, drawings, design, or photographs in one color or shades of one color. A monochromatic object or image has colors in shades of limited colors or hues. Monochrome images in neutral colors are called grayscale or black-and-white. "Monochromatic light" refers to light of a narrow frequency. Данное...

The Apple IIe Card (Apple Computer part #820-0444-A) is a compatibility card which allows compatible Macs to run software designed for Apple II computers (except the 16-bit Apple IIGS). Released in March 1991 for use with the LC family of Macintosh computers, Apple targeted the card at its widely dominated educational market to ease the transition from Apple II-based classrooms, with thousands of entrenched educational software titles, to Macintosh-based classrooms.Like the Apple IIe itself, the Apple IIe Card uses an onboard 65C02 CPU. The CPU is software-configurable to run at the Apple IIe's native 1.0 MHz speed or at an accelerated 1.9 MHz. Video emulation (text and graphics) was handled...

The Lisa project was started at Apple in 1978 and evolved into a project to design a powerful personal computer with a graphical user interface (GUI) that would be targeted toward business customers. In 1982, Steve Jobs was forced out of the Lisa project, so he joined the Macintosh project instead. The Macintosh is not a direct descendant of Lisa, although there are obvious similarities between the systems and the final revision, the Lisa 2 , was modified and sold as the Macintosh XL.

It was codenamed "Shiner" and originally consisted of two models, the Network Server 500/132 ("Shiner LE") and the Network Server 700/150 ("Shiner HE"), which got a companion model, the Network Server 700/200 (also "Shiner HE") with a faster CPU in September 1996. They are not a part of the Apple Macintosh line of computers; they were designed to run IBM's AIX operating system and their ROM specifically prevented booting Mac OS.

The original ProDOS, renamed ProDOS 8 in version 1.2, was the last official operating system usable by all Apple II series computers, and was distributed from 1983 to 1993. The other, ProDOS 16, took advantage of the extra capabilities of the 16-bit Apple IIgs, but was short-lived and replaced by GS/OS within a year. ProDOS was marketed by Apple as meaning Professional Disk Operating System, and became the most popular operating system for the Apple II series of computers 10 months after its release in January 1983.

Apple Partition Map (APM) is a partition scheme used to define the low-level organization of data on disks formatted for use with 68K and PowerPC Macintosh computers that was introduced with the Macintosh SE (it can be used on a Macintosh Plus too). Apple disks are divided into logical blocks, with 512 bytes usually belonging to each block. The first block contains an Apple-specific Block0 structure. Because APM allows 32 bits worth of logical blocks, the size of an APM formated disk is limited to 2 TiB. The Apple partition map is unusual in that it defines itself as one of the partitions on the disk. This means that every block on the disk (with the exception of the first block, block 0)...
