Design of the FAT file system significant bits the second (f.e cluster 1). In other words, while the low eight bits of the first cluster in the row are stored in the first byte, the top four bits are stored in the low nibble of the second byte, whereas the low four bits of the subsequent cluster in the row are stored in the high nibble of the second byte and its higher eight bits in the third byte. The FAT16 file system uses 16 bits per FAT entry, thus one entry spans two bytes in little-endian byte order: The FAT32 file system uses 32 bits
SEX (computing) SEX (computing) In computing, the SEX assembly language mnemonic has often been used for the "codice_1" machine instruction found in the Motorola 6809. A computer's or CPU's "sex" can also mean the endianness of the computer architecture used. x86 computers do not have the same "byte sex" as HC11 computers, for example. Functions are sometimes needed for computers of different endianness to communicate with each other over the internet, as protocols often use big endian byte coding by default. On the RCA 1802 series of microprocessors, the SEX, for "codice_2," instruction is used to designate which of the machine's sixteen
