Started #3 DVD!! yay.....*caugh. Just kidding. We started talking more about buses, aka Pci's. When you put in a card, you have to unplug the computer and drain the power so you don't hurt yourself. We have to handle the cards by the edges/sides we don't want to touch the parts that go into the PC. IRQ has a numeric address it helps the CPU identify the interrupting source. All devices need their own memory. DMA channels stand for Direct Memory Access. Then she talked about the Device Mangager. We are able to see all the different devices and what type of IRQ it uses.
Drivers: some are provided for you, and others you might have to install. Then she went on to the Pc's. You first have to go to the start menue.Then to control panel, then to sound and audio. Sund Card Connecters are your microphone/speaker etc! Also handle them on the edges and don't bend any of the delecate things on he piece of hardware. She talked alot abou different commands as well. There are 7 different types of speed standards. She took a laptop and showed us what a mini PCI looks like. The screws are very small compared to normal ones. OMG!! Mrs.Happy eats computer ribbons!! She says they come in different shapes, sizes, and flavors!! hahaha!!! This was a very interesting day with Mrs. Happy! :)
