  Byte (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Byte magazine was probably the most influentual microcomputer magazine in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, because of its wide-ranging editorial coverage.
Whereas many magazines from the mid-80s to date have been dedicated to the Wintel platform or the Mac, mostly from a business user's perspective, Byte covered developments in the entire field of "small computers and software", and sometimes included in-depth features on other computing fields as well, such as supercomputers and high-reliability computing.
Byte was able to attract advertising and articles from many well-knowns, soon-to-be-well-knowns, and ultimately-to-be-forgottens in the growing microcomputer hobby.

I very much miss the best technical staff any computer magazine ever had: we don't have all those people now, and all those experts, and I must rely on a circle of readers and advisors for the support that I used to be able to get with a phone call to Peterborough.
I wish there were a rival to BYTE so that I could read that, but in fact I don't think we had a rival: we filled a niche that needed filling, and no one else did that.
I am told by my BYTE friends that the compensation package is pretty standard for the industry; certainly not overly generous given the one day's notice of being dismissed, but a great deal more than nothing.

 Josip Sabic - Byte magazine page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
In addition, due to the architecture of the 8088 microprocessor, the on-board memory itself does not reduce the main memory address space available to the IBM microcomputer; in contrast, the memory taken by the video display of an 8-bit microcomputer always reduces its 64 K-byte work-space.
Since the color/graphics adapter card has 16 K bytes of memory and the two kinds of text pages take only 2000 and 4000 bytes, respectively, you can store up to four 80-column pages of text or eight 40-column pages at once.
Sixty-four K bytes seems to be so much memory, especially since we are used to program, data, and the BASIC interpreter fitting into 64 K bytes.

True, Apple is planning to upgrade the Mac to 512K bytes sometime in the future, but that still leaves 97 percent of the potential memory space unused and unusable.
First, 128K bytes is not enough RAM for a standard, especially in the Macintosh environment, where graphics chew away at your free space.
Others argue that 128K bytes of RAM is enough because so much of the work is done for you in the 64K-byte ROM.

Following in the footsteps of computer store chain Egghead, venerable technology publication Byte Magazine this week completes its transition to the virtual world with Byte.com.

In tests that were performed at BYTE, a single StreamLine-PCI SSA adapter card ($995) delivered a throughput of approximately 40 MBps.
Those numbers are slightly better than the fastest UltraSCSI performance that BYTE saw in a recent review (see "UltraSCSI Doubles Speed" August BYTE), but thanks to SSA's ability to host multiple adapters on a loop, SSA can deliver even better aggregate performan ce.
Pathlight officials contend that the throughput is currently limited by a combination of the card's PCI interface chip, the current implementation of PCI, and the speed of system memory.
