NOTE: the
number to the right of the period is 30 (1Eh), NOT 3 (03h)
Even pickier: It is a "period", NOT a "decimal point", nor
"radix point";
^^^^^^ So what is it called in the UK? We call the
end-of-sentence marker a
'full stop', not a 'period'.
Most Americans "have never heard of" "full stop"!
How about calling it a "dot"?
it serves as
punctuation separating an integer, and a 2 digit decimal
integer.
Does that mean that the correct way to pronounce the verisons are 'three -
thirty' and 'three - thirty one'? Also, for
those using hard disks, 3.30 had a 32M size limit.; 3.31 was the
first version without the 32M limit.
AFAIK the PPC640 never hard a hard disk.
There were a pair of D conenctors
(DB25 and DC37 I think, I forget the gender) that carried the system bus.
There is rumoured to be an expansion chassis for it, I've never seen one.
I also beliecve that US versions diddn't have those connecotrs fitted,
due to the FCC emissions regulations. I guess it would support an XT hard
disk controller (with its own boot/BIOS ROM) connected there, but I've
never seen it done.
