Maximum hard drive size for FAT16-based windows system is 2GB.

Micro processor is a program-controlled device, which fetches the instruction from memory, decodes and executes the instructions. Most Micro Processor are single-chip devices.

LIFO (Last In First Out) stack is used in 8085. in this type of Stack the last stored information can be retrieved first.

Main Boot Record is located is sector 0, track 0, head 0, cylinder 0 of the primary active partition.

High-density n-type Complimentary Metal Oxide Silicon field effect transistor.

Level 1 cache is internal to the chip, Level 2 is external.

A blocking assignment is one in which the statements are executed sequentially, i.e., first statement is executed and variable is assigned  a value then second is executed and so on. A non blocking assignment is  one in which statements occurs conturrently, only non blocking assignments should be used in sequential circuit.

e.g.

initial

begin

a=b; //blocking

c<=a; //nonblocking

d=c; // blocking

end

In this example firstly the value of b is assigned to a and this value is assigned to c only after execution of first statement. the second and the third statements are executed simultaneously, i.e. value a ais assigned to c and previous value if c is assigned to d.

Stack pointer is a special purpose 16-bit register in the Microprocessor, which holds the address od the top of the stack.
