4. What kind of computer is it?

The I/O (input/output/ unit consiiists of one or more ICs, which are used to control the data going
in and out of the computer.

The ROM (read-only memory) and RAM (random-access memory) units consist of a number of
special digital logic chips which can store programs and data. The small ROM provides some
permanent storage and the RAM is used for temporary storage. Unlike the ROM, the contents of
the RAM is constantly changing, but it only operates while the computer is switched on.

The CPU (central processing unit) is a microprocessor. It is the main part of the computer,
which controls the rest of the system and performs all the aritthmetic and logic operations on the
data.

Sets of connectors known as buses are used to carry the internal signals between each unit.
The data bus is used to transfer data between all the units. The control bus is used to send
control signals from the CPU to the other units. The address bus is used to send signals from
the CPU which indicate the memory and I/O locations to be used.
