Bug report from Willi: GLOSSARY.LST

[shidel]

1. [TYPO] – Spelling & Grammar

   ACCESS.bus:

    Observation: "...permits twice the current draw (6ma)..."
   
    Correction: "...current draw (6mA)..." (Standard scientific notation for milliamperes).
   

   Alternate Multiplex Interrupt Specification:

    Observation: "standardised protocol..."
   
    Correction: "standardized protocol..." (US English consistency).
   

   DRAM:

    Observation: "...process of reading the contents of the memory are destructive..."
   
    Correction: "...process of reading the contents of the memory is destructive..." (Subject-verb agreement).
   

   I2C:

    Observation: "Similary, the SMBus..."
   
    Correction: "Similarly, the SMBus..."
   

   IBM:

    Observation: "International Busiuness Machines)..."
   
    Correction: "(International Business Machines)..." (Fix spelling and add missing opening parenthesis).
   

   UART:

    Observation: "Universal Asyncronous..."
   
    Correction: "Universal Asynchronous..." (Missing 'h').
   

   Write-Through:

    Observation: "See also cache,"
   
    Correction: "See also cache." (Trailing comma at the end of the entry).
   

2. [TECH] – Technical Accuracy & Historical Context

   lDOS / lEDR-DOS / lMS-DOS (Modern Additions):

    Observation: The entries regarding ecm's forks and the inclusion of the 2018/2024 MS-DOS source releases are technically excellent and provide essential context for the 2026 release.
   
    Verification: The note about the lowercase "l" in lDOS (to avoid confusion with a capital "I") is a vital inclusion for search and documentation purposes.
   

   A20 (Address Line 20):

    Observation: Correctly identifies that it is the twenty-first address line.
   

   IISP (IBM Interrupt Sharing Protocol):

    Observation: Correctly identifies its use in STACKS and AMIS.
   

   CP/M-86 Evolution:

    Observation: The list of descendant OSs is accurate, including the transition to Caldera OpenDOS and Enhanced DR-DOS.
   

3. [FORMAT] – Layout & Structure

   Consistency in Cross-References:

    Most entries use "See also" (lowercase 'a') while some use "see also" or "See Also".
   
    Recommendation: Standardize to "See also" throughout for a uniform look.
   

   Indentation:

    The glossary follows the historical RBIL format (term on one line, hanging indent for the definition). This is preserved correctly.
   

   Lowercase Headers:

    Terms like bit-banging, lDOS, and undocumented start with lowercase letters. While this reflects the terms' actual usage (especially for lDOS), standard glossary formatting usually capitalizes the headword.
   
    Note: If the developer prefers "canonical" case for the headwords, change to Bit-banging and Undocumented, but keep lDOS as is, given the specific naming note.
   

[SUMMARY OVERVIEW FOR THIS BLOCK]

This section is a high-quality bridge between legacy computing and modern "Retro-Dev" (2024-2026) findings. The most critical technical fixes are the unit notation (mA), the IBM definition's parentheses, and the UART spelling.
