Just like the PS/2 input, the serial port is quickly being replaced by USB type inputs. Number 4 is pointing to the IEEE port, otherwise known as Firewire. This port is most commonly used to transfer large files such as video from a camcorder to the computer. Older versions of the firewire could transfer files at 100 mbps. In 1995, Firewire 400 came out which could transfer files at 400mbps. In

places to connect. Now days there are no specific types of ports for different computers. Pretty much all computers from PC to Mac have all the same ports on them. One example of a port that was more specific just to Macs is the firewire, though these days firewire is rarely used. There are advantages and disadvantages of using a port expander. An advantage is that you get more ports to use. SAS takes one port and makes many out of them. A disadvantage is that a lot of the time they are external

a peripheral bus. The technology has a high bandwidth at 10 Gbit/s, with the potential to scale to 100 Gbit/s by 2020. Currently in development, Light Peak is being developed as a single universal replacement for current buses such as SCSI, SATA, USB, FireWire, PCI Express and HDMI, in an attempt to reduce the proliferation of ports on contemporary computers. Bus systems such as USB were developed for the same purpose, and successfully replaced a number of older technologies. However, increasing bandwidth

There are multiple types of Port Expanders including, but not limited to USB Expanders, HDMI Expanders, FireWire Expanders, and 15 Pin VGA Expanders. Port Expanders are used for the benefit of having multiple ports instead of being limited to only two or three. A Port Expander has Advantages, and disadvantages that a lot of people are not aware of for example, a advantage would be that you can connect multiple devices to benefit your need at the time, and the situation you are in. A disadvantage

Identifying I/O Ports and Devices •Serial Port: A serial communication physical interface through which information transfers in or out one bit at a time. Once very commonly used for connecting an external modem or mouse to a PC, very few new computers will come with one unless specifically ordered that way. •PS/2 Connector: The most commonly used connection for keyboards and mice to a PC compatible computer system. •Parallel Port: Sends several data signals simultaneously over several parallel
