Abstract: A single semiconductor memory device replaces a variety of hard disk device types having different mounting configurations. The semiconductor memory device must have available the same mounting configuration as that of the hard disk device. Including multiple mounting configuration means, such as screw holes, in the case of the semiconductor memory device avoids the need for multiple replacement semiconductor memory device types. The multiple mounting configurations allow the semiconductor memory device to be mounted in a variety of orientations and mounting configurations. Thus, a single semiconductor memory device type can replace multiple varieties of hard disk device types without the need for extra mounting equipment.

Abstract: Receiving an instruction designating a frequency f by an MPU (1), a programmable clock generator (2) generates a dot clock D which has the frequency f. The dot clock D and a horizontal synchronizing signal H having a cycle T.sub.H are supplied to a counter (3). The counter (3) counts the number N of activations of the dot clock D during the cycle T.sub.H. The activation number N is supplied to a comparator (4), together with a predetermined number K which is designated by the MPU (1). The comparator (4) compares these numbers and supplies a comparison result C to the MPU (1). The MPU (1) updates the frequency f, in accordance with the comparison result C.

Abstract: A method for continuously scrolling a large scale picture, comprising scrolling picture data of first partial picture memory in a predetermined direction, the first picture memory having a region with a position and a size, reserving second partial picture memory having a region of a different position and a predetermined size in the predetermined direction of scrolling, the region of the second partial picture memory overlapping that of the first partial picture memory, changing display data from the first partial picture memory to the second partial picture memory at the time when scrolled position become near to a boundary region of the first partial picture memory, continuously scrolling picture data of the second memory.
