What is the full form of RS 232 - the jack at the back of most computers?
545027
RS-232 is a standard for serial binary data interconnection between a DTE (Data terminal equipment) and a DCE (Data communication equipment). It is commonly used in computer serial ports. A similar ITU-T standard is V.24. RS is an abbreviation for "Recommended Standard".\n\nIn computer term it is called COM1 or communication port 1 and was used for modem connections.

The letters A: and B: are reserved for use by floppy drives only - however, since the drive isn't connected through the FDC, it will most likely get assigned the next regular drive letter (E: or whatever), instead of B:.  The drivers have special permissions to override the BIOS restrictions and take letter A: if it's not in use, but I'm pretty sure if you already have an A, it won't be able to take B:.

The only one I can think of from the top of my head is the MAXIM  ICM7211 / 7212  which has a function input "BCD or Binary" on its pin 4.\nSee data sheet http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/ICM7211-ICM7212.pdf   and its Truth Table on page 10.

Look at the old hard drive.  There should be a label with the model number and manufacturer on it.  Search the model number at the manufacturer's web site.  It should tell you which kind of hard drive it it.\n\nTypically, it depends on what connector is on it.  A small connector which is about a little over half an inch is a serial ata connector.  A larger connector about 2 inches wide is a ata/uata/dma/udma/ide connector.  Each of these different modes are different transfer speeds, but plug looks the same.  By researching your model at the manufacturer's site will tell you what speed it will transfer at, thus giving you the right protocol hard drive to purchase.  \n\nfor example,\nultra 33 - theoretical 33 MHz transfer\nultra 66 - theoretical 66 MHz transfer\nultra 100 - theoretical 100 MHz transfer\nultra 133 - theoretical 133 MHz transfer\nsata 150 - theoretical 150 MHz transfer\n\nThere are also SCSI drives, but most mainstream home computers don't have them.\n\nHard drives don't come in RAID form, it is how how you set up your hard drives if your motherboard/host adapter supports RAID.  RAID is an array of hard drives.  You can use multiple hard drives in RAID to get effects such as combined output from multiple hard drives for more output speed, or for redundancy such as writing to two hard drives at once so you have an extra hard drive with with same data for backup in case one happens to die. More advanced versions of RAID can do both of these functions (combined output and redundancy) at the same time.

An ethernet cable.\n\nUPDATED RESPONSE:\n\nAnswers 1 and 3 are wrong. RJ-45 refers to the connector jack at the ends of an ethernet cable, not the cable itself. The proper term is "ethernet" cable. They can come in different types such as Category (CAT) 1,2,3,4,5 or 6. (most of them are no longer used)What you most likely would need would be a CAT 5e or CAT 6 (gigabit ethernet) cable.

should say CD/r or rw\ncan look in control panel, system, hardware tab, device manager,right click device> properties.\nthis will display the info too.

It is very possible that the DC jack is broken on the motherboard and shorting out the adapter. Dell says that the DC jacks can not be repaired, but often you can replace them. I would recommend taking it to a local computer repair firm and see what they say. I have replaced DC jacks for several customers, but always with the warning that the repair itself could further damage the computer. If done succesfully, the 120 bucks to replace a dc jack is much cheaper than having the entire motherboard replaced.

There's only one place to put one end of the cord in your computer.  Then put the other end into the jack in the wall.

On my laptop I have a function key that I can hold down to access the numbers that are shared with the letters.  (On my dell its the 'Fn' key - it's in blue, which matches the color of the numbers that share keys with letters.)\n\nSo on my laptop I press and hold the Fn key and the Alt key while typing 235 with the number keys shared with the letter keys to get the special characters.\n\nYou laptop will probably have a similar button you need to press.

I am sure you have discovered that the newer laptops do not include a serial port.  So, you might try a PCMCIA card that provides a serial port for $129.  \n\nhttp://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_pcmcia.php

Doesn't sound good. Search Google or microsoft.com with "0x00000024."
