| basic input/output system | 基本入出力システム (The set of essential software routines that test computer hardware at startup, start the operating system, and support the transfer of information between hardware devices. The BIOS is stored in read-only memory (ROM) so that it can be run when the computer is turned on. Although critical to performance, the BIOS is usually invisible to computer users) |
| input/output | 入出力 (The complementary tasks of gathering and distributing data. Input is data that is acquired from a device or entered by the user through a device. Output is data that is sent to a device, にゅうしゅつりょく) |
| input/output control | 入出力制御 (A command that enables a program to communicate directly with a device driver. This is done, for example, by sending a string of control information recognized by the driver. None of the information passed from the program to the device driver is sent to the device itself (in other words, the control string sent to a printer driver is not displayed on the printer), にゅうしゅつりょく・せいぎょ) |
| input/output port | 入出力ポート (A channel through which data is transferred between a device and the microprocessor. The port appears to the microprocessor as one or more memory addresses that it can use to send or receive data) |
| network basic input/output system | ネットワーク基本入出力システム (An application programming interface (API) that can be used by programs on a local area network (LAN). NetBIOS provides programs with a uniform set of commands for requesting the lower-level services required to manage names, conduct sessions, and send datagrams between nodes on a network) |
| Record Level Input/Output | レコード単位入出力 (A protocol of IBM Distributed Data Management (DDM) architecture) |
