Y- \Y-\, [or] I- \I-\ . [OE. y-, i-, AS. ge-, akin to D. & G. ge-, OHG. gi-, ga-, Goth. ga-, and perhaps to Latin con-; originally meaning, together. Cf. {Com-}, {Aware}, {Enough}, {Handiwork}, {Ywis}.] A prefix of obscure meaning, originally used with verbs, adverbs, adjectives, nouns, and pronouns. In the Middle English period, it was little employed except with verbs, being chiefly used with past participles, though occasionally with the infinitive Ycleped, or yclept, is perhaps the only word not entirely obsolete which shows this use.

Note: Some examples of Chaucer's use of this prefix are; ibe, ibeen, icaught, ycome, ydo, idoon, ygo, iproved, ywrought. It inough, enough, it is combined with an adjective. Other examples are in the Vocabulary. Spenser and later writers frequently employed this prefix when affecting an archaic style, and sometimes used it incorrectly. | |

I \I\ ([imac]). 1. I, the ninth letter of the English alphabet, takes its form from the Ph[d2]nician, through the Latin and the Greek. The Ph[d2]nician letter was probably of Egyptian origin. Its original value was nearly the same as that of the Italian I, or long e as in mete. Etymologically I is most closely related to e, y, j, g; as in dint, dent, beverage, L. bibere; E. kin, AS. cynn; E. thin, AS. [thorn]ynne; E. dominion, donjon, dungeon. In English I has two principal vowel sounds: the long sound, as in p[c6]ne, [c6]ce; and the short sound, as in p[icr]n. It has also three other sounds: (a) That of e in term, as in thirst. (b) That of e in mete (in words of foreign origin), as in machine, pique, regime. (c) That of consonant y (in many words in which it precedes another vowel), as in bunion, million, filial, Christian, etc. It enters into several digraphs, as in fail, field, seize, feign. friend; and with o often forms a proper diphtong, as in oil, join, coin. See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 98-106. Note: The dot which we place over the small or lower case i dates only from the 14th century. The sounds of I and J were originally represented by the same character, and even after the introduction of the form J into English dictionaries, words containing these letters were, till a comparatively recent time, classed together. 2. In our old authors, I was often used for ay (or aye), yes, which is pronounced nearly like it. 3. As a numeral, I stands for 1, II for 2, etc. | |

IEEE 488 HP-IB, Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus) An 8-bit parallel {bus} common on {test equipment}. The IEEE-488 standard was proposed by {Hewlett-Packard} in the late 1970s and has undergone a couple of revisions. HP documentation (including data sheets and manuals) calls it HP-IB, or Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus. It allows up to 15 intelligent devices to share a single bus, with the slowest device participating in the control and data transfer handshakes to drive the speed of the transaction. The maximum data rate is about one {megabit} per second. Other standards committees have adopted HP-IB (American Standards Institute with ANSI Standard MC 1.1 and International Electro-technical Commission with IEC Publication 625-1). To paraphrase from the HP 1989 Test & Measurement Catalog (the 50th Anniversary version): The HP-IB has a party-line structure wherein all devices on the bus are connected in parallel. The 16 signal lines within the passive interconnecting HP-IB (IEEE-488) cable are grouped into three clusters according to their functions (Data Bus, Data Byte Transfer Control Bus, General Interface Management Bus). In June 1987 the IEEE approved a new standard for programmable instruments called IEEE Std. 488.2-1987 Codes, Formats, Protocols, and Common Commands. It works with the IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation, IEEE 488-1978 (now 488.1). HP-IB is Hewlett-Packard's implementation of IEEE 488.1. (1996-05-10) | |

IEEE 802 networks}. The {spanning tree algorithm} is defined in {IEEE 802.1} (under consideration), {Logical Link Control} (LLC, the upper portion of the {data link layer}) in {IEEE 802.2}, {Ethernet} in {IEEE 802.3}, {Token Bus} in IEEE 802.4 and IBM {Token Ring} in {IEEE 802.5}. The equivalent {ISO} {standard} is IS 8802. (1995-02-15) | |

IEEE 802.3 The {IEEE} standard defining the {hardware layer} and {transport layer} of (a varient of) {Ethernet}. The maximum {segment} length is 500m and the maximum total length is 2.5km. The maximum number of hosts is 1024. The maximum {packet} size is 1518 bytes. If the upper layer {protocol} submits a {PDU} less than 64 bytes, 802.3 will pad the {LLC Info} field to achieve the minimum 64 bytes. Although it is not technically correct, the terms "{packet}" and frame are used interchangeably. The {ISO}/{IEC} 8802-3 {ANSI}/{IEEE} 802.3 Standards refer to {MAC} sub-layer {frame}s consisting of the Destination Address, Source Address, Length, LLC Info., and {FCS} fields. The {Preamble} and {SFD} are (usually) considered a header to the {MAC} Frame. This header plus the MAC Frame constitute a "Packet". (1995-07-09) | |
