DONUTS


Meaning of DONUTS in English

transcription, транскрипция: [ n. obs. ]

A collective noun for any set of memory bits. This usage is extremely archaic and may no longer be live jargon; it dates from the days of ferrite- core memories in which each bit was implemented by a doughnut-shaped magnetic flip-flop.
