From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   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.

      {Personal verb} (Gram.), a verb which is modified or
            inflected to correspond with the three persons.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   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.

      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.

               Spenser and later writers frequently employed this

               used it incorrectly.

   IEEE 488
  
      (GPIB, General-Purpose Interface Bus,
      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.
