From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   daisywheel printer
  
      A kind of {impact printer} where the characters are
      arranged on the ends of the spokes of a wheel (resembling the
      petals on a daisy).
  
      The wheel (usually made of plastic) is rotated to select the
      character to print and then an electrically operated hammer
      mechanism bends the selected spoke forward slightly,
      sandwiching an ink ribbon between the character and the paper,
      as in a typewriter.
  
      One advantage of this arrangement over that of a typewriter is
      that different wheels may be inserted to produce different
      {typefaces}.

      used in commonly available {workstations}.   It is
      {superpipelined} and {superscalar}.   In February 1996 it was

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   DS level
  
      (Digital Signal or Data Service level)
      Originally an {AT&T} classification of transmitting one or
      more voice conversations in one digital data stream.   The best
      known DS levels are {DS0} (a single conversation), {DS1} (24
      conversations multiplexed), {DS1C}, {DS2}, and {DS3}.
  
      By extension, the DS level can refer to the raw data rate
      necessary for transmission:
  
         DS0         64 Kb/s
         DS1   1.544 Mb/s
         DS1C   3.15   Mb/s
         DS2   6.31   Mb/s
         DS3   44.736 Mb/s
         DS4 274.1   Mb/s
  
      (where K and M signify multiplication by 1000 and 1000000,
      rather than powers of two).   In this sense it can be used to
      measure of data service rates classifying the user access
      rates for various point-to-point {WAN} technologies or
      standards (e.g. {X.25}, {SMDS}, {ISDN}, {ATM}, {PDH}).
  
      Japan uses the US standards for DS0 through DS2 but Japanese
      DS5 has roughly the circuit capacity of US DS4, while the
      European standards are rather different (see {E1}).   In
      the US all of the transmission rates are integral multiples of
      8000 bits per second but rates above DS1 are not necessarily
      integral multiples of 1,544 kb/s.
