100BaseT4 (100 Mbps over four-pair {Cat3} or better cable),

100BaseVG
A 100 {MBps} {Ethernet} standard specified to run
over four pairs of {category 3} {UTP} wires (known as voice
grade, hence the "VG"). It is also called 100VG-AnyLAN
because it was defined to carry both {Ethernet} and {token
ring} {frame} types.
100BaseVG was originally proposed by {Hewlett-Packard},
ratified by the {ISO} in 1995 and practically extinct by 1998.
100BaseVG started in the IEEE 802.3u committee as {Fast
Ethernet}. One faction wanted to keep {CSMA/CD} in order to
keep it pure Ethernet, even though the {collision domain}
problem limited the distances to one tenth that of {10baseT}.
Another faction wanted to change to a polling architecture
from the hub (they called it "demand priority") in order to
maintain the 10baseT distances, and also to make it a
{deterministic} {protocol}. The CSMA/CD crowd said, "This is
802.3 -- the Ethernet committee. If you guys want to make a
different protocol, form your own committee". The IEEE 802.12
committee was thus formed and standardized 100BaseVG. The
rest is history.

16 bit
Using {words} containing sixteen
{bits}. This adjective often refers to the number of bits
used internally by a computer's {CPU}. E.g. "The {Intel 8086}
is a sixteen bit processor". Its external {data bus} or
{address bus} may be narrower. The term may also refer to the
size of an instruction in the computer's {instruction set} or
to any other item of data.

16-bit application
Software for {MS-DOS} or {Microsoft
Windows} which originally ran on the 16-bit {Intel 8088} and
{80286} {microprocessors}. These used a {segmented address
space} to extend the range of addresses from what is possible
with just a 16-bit address. Programs with more than 64
kilobytes of code or data therefore had to waste time
switching between {segments}. Furthermore, programming with
segments is more involved than programming in a {flat address
space}, giving rise to {warts} like {memory models} in {C} and
{C++}.

organisation with bidirectional {data bus} and {multiplexed

bit-programmable output port; four input pins which are
directly tested by branch instructions; flexible programmable
I/O mode; single-phase clock, with on-chip oscillator; 16 x 16
