Everything about Syllable (computing)
Platform-specific data size used for some historical digital hardware
In computing, a syllable is a unit of information that describes the size of data for some digital hardware from the 1960s and 1970s. The size of the unit varies by hardware design in much the same way that word does. The term is not used for modern hardware; standardized terms, such as byte, are used instead. Wikipedia →
