A Storage Medium From Which Data Is Read

This document contains an exam on microprocessor systems. It lists various computer devices and components and asks the test taker to classify them as different types of inputs, outputs, storage or memory. It also asks the test taker to identify different computer terms and components. Finally, it poses four essay questions asking the test taker to differentiate between primary and secondary storage, input and output devices, describe the fastest storage media and differentiate the control unit and arithmetic logic unit of the CPU.
