bit/byte and kilo/mega/giga/tera/peta

Posted by mr91535 on March 31, 2009

Convention:

“b” (small B) denotes bit and “B” (capital B) denotes byte.

128 kb = 128 kilo bit

16 kB = 16 kilo byte

For some cases, “k” (small K) before “b” denotes bit and “K” (capital K) denotes byte.

128 kb = 128 kilo bit

16 Kb = 16 kilo byte

So,

1 Kilo Byte = 1 kB = 1 KB

1 Kilo Bit = 1 kb

Learning:

1 Byte = 8 Bit

1 kb (Kilo-Byte)

= 1000 bit

= 125 Byte

= 0.125 KB

 

1 mb (Mega-Bit)

= 1000 kb

= 1000 x 1000 bit

= 125,000 Byte

= 125.00 KB

= 0.125 MB

 

1 gb (Giga-Bit)

= 1000 mb

= 1000 x 1000 kb

= 1000 x1000 x1000 bit

= 125,000,000 Byte

= 125,000 KB

= 125 MB

= 0.125 GB

Citycell ZOOM Modem/ CDMA Modem in MAC Operating System

Posted by mr91535 on March 27, 2009

well, you should obviously be able to use your Citycell ZOOM or any CDMA Modem in MAC operating system. All you need is that your modem’s driver for MAC. For that you can get details from modem manufacturer website. If you can’t find any information, either contact manufacturer support or search for the driver in Google, you can also find some generic driver from MAC forums or at least information.
