Byte addressing Byte addressing Byte addressing refers to hardware architectures which support accessing individual bytes of data rather than only larger units called words, which would be "word-addressable". Such computers are sometimes called "byte machines" (in contrast to "word machines"). The basic unit of digital storage is called a bit, storing a single 0 or 1. Many common architectures can address more than 8 bits of data at a time. For example, the Intel 386SX processor can handle 16-bit (two-byte) data, since data is transferred over a 16-bit bus. However, data in memory may be of various lengths. A 64-bit architecture machine
Byte Information Exchange in 2001. Some members created a new service, based on an open-source version of CoSy, called NLZ (Noise Level Zero) where they continue what remained of the service, with many of the same conferences and topics that were active at the end of Delphi's ownership. Other CoSy-based conferencing systems of the same era still survive including CIX. Byte Information Exchange BYTE Information eXchange (BIX) was an online service created by "BYTE". "BYTE" in the October 1984 issue announced BYTEnet, "a project in computer conferencing", with 200 beta testers who received free service during the "experiment". The magazine formally announced BIX
