Rangarira ndima iri pasi apa uye ipapo pindura mubvunzo gare gare mumutauro mumwe chetewo sechikamu:  Passage: Monitors, keyboards nemimwe midziyo yekupinda nekubuda inogona kuve yakabatanidzwa kana kupatsanurwa. Ndangariro yekombiyuta muchimiro cheRAM, uye imwe imwe isingachinjiki, chishandiso chekuchengetedza ndangariro chinowanzo sanganiswa neCPU pane bhazi rehurongwa mune imwe yuniti. Mimwe michina inoumba hurongwa hwema microcomputer hwakakwana inosanganisira mabhatiri, chikwata chemagetsi, keyboard nemichina yakasiyana-siyana yekupinza/yekubudisa inoshandiswa kuendesa mashoko kune uye kubva kumunhu anoshanda (printers, monitors, human interface devices). Makombiyuta maduku akagadzirirwa kushandira mushandisi mumwe chete panguva, kunyange zvazvo kazhinji anogona kuchinjwa nesoftware kana kuti hardware kuti ashandire vanopfuura mushandisi mumwe panguva imwe chete. Makombiyuta maduku anoiswa zvakanaka padhesiki kana kuti pasi pematafura, kuitira kuti vashandisi vave nawo nyore nyore. Makombiyuta makuru akadai semakombiyuta maduku, mainframe, nemakombiyuta makuru anogara mumakabhati makuru kana kuti mumakamuri chaiwo.  Mubvunzo: Makombiyuta erudzii anotora nzvimbo huru?
