CPU or Central Processing Unit is that part of a computer which executes software program instructions. In older computers this circuitry was formerly on several printed circuit boards, but in PCs it is a single integrated circuit. Nearly all PCs contain a type of CPU known as a microprocessor. The microprocessor often plugs into the motherboard using one of many different types of sockets. IBM PC compatible computers use an X86-compatible processor, usually made by Intel, AMD, VIA Technologies or Transmeta.

Personal computers (or microcomputers) were made possible by two technical innovations in the field of microelectronics: the integrated circuit, or IС, which was developed in 1959 and the microprocessor that first appeared in 1971. The IС permitted the miniaturization of computer-memory circuits, and the microprocessor reduced the size of a computer’s CPU to the size of a single silicon chip.
Because a CPU calculates, performs logical operations, contains operating instructions, and manages data flows, a complete microcomputer as a separate system was designed and developed in 1974.

Hard disks can be divided into one to four separate sections, called partitions. Partitions separate your hard disk into individual areas, and each partition may contain a different operating system.
To prepare your hard disk for the MS-DOS operating system, you must create a partition for MS-DOS, called a DOS partition. You can create a DOS partition on your hard disk by using a menudriven utility called fdisk. You must use fdisk if you want to do one of the following:
- Create a primary MS-DOS partition
- Create an extended DOS partition
- Change the active partition
- Delete a DOS partition
- Display partition information
- Review or modify the configuration of another hard disk on your computer

FILINK is a utility that moves data or program files between two Epson computers joined by a cable. Transferring files this way overcomes the difficulties of mismatched disk formats or conflicting operating systems.
All you need are cable connection between the RS-232C ports of the two machines and a FILINK program running on each. Epson’s FILINK is compatible with Epson equipment, but not with other machines and software you may use.

The names of your files are kept in a directory on each disk. The directory also contains information on the sizes of the files, and the dates they were created and updated.
If you want to know what files are on your disk, you can use the DIR command. This command tells MS-DOS to display all the files in a specific directory on a disk. For example, if your MS-DOS disks are in drive A and you use the DIR command, the directory display would look similar to this:
Volume in drive A is DOS 3-3

MS-DOS is an operating system - a piece of software which looks after the running of your computer. It lets you create and keep track of files, run and link programs, and make use of peripheral devices (for example, printers and disk drives) attached to your computer.
Because your computer can run with one of several different operating systems (for example, MS-DOS, CP/M) the operating system is not built into the computer. Instead it is loaded from disk when the computer is started up.
Once the operating system has been loaded into the computer’s memory the disk from which it was loaded may be removed if required. The operating system needs to be reloaded only if part has been overwritten (when using very large programs, for example) or when the computer is restarted.
