ATA Packet Interface - minor extension to IDE to control additional device types
a packet attachment interface which is used to extend the EIDE interface used with CD-ROMS and similar devices
(Abbrev )
AT Attachment Packet Interface An enhancement of the ATA protocol to be able to connect CD drives etc
AT Attachement Packet Interface - Interface to connect AT devices, for example some older CD-Rom players and things like that
AT Attachment Packet Interface The Enhanced IDE standard by itself works wonders for hooking up disk drives to PCs But that's not enough People want to attach tape drives and CD-ROMs to the same controller Thanks to EIDE's support for the ATAPI standard, they can Using ATAPI-capable hardware and software drivers, you can mix and match different types of drives on the same EIDE controller, which is both a convenience and a savings in hardware costs
ATA Packet Interface Defines a set of commands supported through the ATA-2 interface for peripherals other than hard drives, such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and tape drives
A specification that defines device-side characteristics for an IDE-connected peripheral, such as CD-ROM or tape drives
n 1 The ATA Programmer's Interface A set of SCSI-like commands designed to address a CDROM drive over an IDEinterface Allows users to install and use a CDROM drive in much the same manner as a hard disk
AT Attachment Packet Interface A new protocol for controlling mass storage devices similar to SCSI protocols It builds on the ATA (AT Attachment) interface, the official ANSI Standard name for the IDE interface developed for hard disk drives ATAPI is commonly used for hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and other devices
An acronym for "Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface " A high-speed interface protocol that is considered a subset of the SCSI standard On CD-ROM servers, ATAPI is primarily used to connect disc drives contained within a single server
AT Attachment Packet Interface ATAPI is the protocol by which CD-ROM drives communicate with a computer system over an IDE interface
AT Attachment Packet Interface A specification for devices (typically CD-ROM drives) that connect to a PC's IDE interface
A series of standards that enable mass stor-age devices other than hard drives to use the IDE/ATA controllers Extremely popu-lar with CD-ROM drives and removable media drives like the Iomega Zip drive (See EIDE )
AT Attachment Packet Interface A hardware and software specification that documents the interface between a host computer and CD-ROM drives using the ATA bus
ATA Packet Interface A device that implements the packet-command feature set A hardware and software specification that describes the interface between a host computer and CD-ROM drives that use the ATA bus
ATAPI is a type of CD-ROM drive that is connected to an (E)IDE controller Apart from ATAPI drives, there are SCSI CD-ROM drives, handled by a SCSI controller, and proprietary CD-ROM drives that use their own controller or are connected to a sound card
AT Attachment Packet Interface Defines a standard interface and behaviour for peripherals connected to the IDE bus, including hard disks, CD-ROM drives and tape drives
ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface) is an interface between your computer and attached CD-ROM drives and tape backup drives Most of today's PC computers use the standard Integrated Drive Electronics (Integrated Drive Electronics) interface to address hard disk drives ATAPI provides the additional commands needed for controlling a CD-ROM player or tape backup so that your computer can use the IDE interface and controllers to control these relatively newer device types
( AT Attachment Packet Interface), also known as IDE or ATA, is a drive implementation that includes the disk controller on the device itself It allows CD-ROMs and tape drives to be configured as master or slave devices, just like hard drives [top]
An abbreviation for AT Attachment Packet Interface ATAPI is the protocol by which CD-ROM drives communicate with a computer system over an IDE interface
ATA Packet Interface, used by most CD-ROMs, and other devices
(Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface): An interface used to connect CD-ROMs, tape drives, and optical disks with the computer
An abbreviation for AT Attachement Packet Interface ATAPI is the protocol by which CD-ROM drives communicate with a computer system over an IDE interface
ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface) is an extension to EIDE (also called ATA-2) that enables the interface to support CD-ROM players and tape drives
