Abstract
The CPU and main memory form the core components of any computer system, but before an overall tailored computer system can be created communication in its broadest sense has also to be added, whether through a visual man-machine interface (the VDU), printer for output, floppy disk for backing memory or analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converters for real-time control [1]. The devices added in such a way are called the peripherals of a computer.
