The correct answer is: C. Mass storage device.
ATAPI stands for “ATA Packet Interface”. It is a standard that defines how mass storage devices, such as hard drives, CD-ROM drives, and DVD drives, communicate with the computer. ATAPI is a superset of the ATA (AT Attachment) standard, which is the standard that defines how hard drives communicate with the computer.
ATAPI devices are typically connected to the computer via a SATA (Serial ATA) or SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) cable. SATA is the most common type of connection for ATAPI devices, while SCSI is more commonly used for high-end devices such as RAID arrays.
ATAPI devices are typically formatted with the FAT (File Allocation Table) file system. FAT is a file system that is designed for use with hard drives. It is a relatively simple file system that is easy to use and understand.
ATAPI devices can be used to store a variety of data, including operating systems, applications, documents, and media files. They can also be used to store data that is used by the computer, such as the system files and the user’s files.
ATAPI devices are an essential part of modern computers. They provide a way to store data and access it quickly and easily.
A. CDROM is a type of optical disc storage medium that can store up to 700 MB of data. It was first developed in the early 1980s and has since become one of the most popular forms of data storage. CDROMs are typically used to store music, software, and video files.
B. Bus mastering is a technique that allows a device to take control of the system bus and access memory directly. This can improve the performance of the device, as it does not have to wait for the CPU to access memory. Bus mastering is typically used by high-performance devices such as hard drives and network cards.
D. All of the above is not the correct answer, as ATAPI compliance does not stand for any of these options.
