  • PSMI
  • Quad small form factor pluggable - apparently some sort of digital connector used in Infiniband and storage applications, often abbreviated QSFP; there are about 24,000 results for it on Google ([48]); it is notable to the extent that lots of very high end hardware seems to employ the connectors in applications and handling data in ways that are not immediately obvious to the uninitiated
  • Radeon r800
  • Secondary Precharge Transistor - domino logic charge sharing trick

  • Virtual Extended Bus - some type of physical storage bus extension to PCI-X present on certain high-end Xeon motherboards: uses the acronym VXB
  • Viatron - I don't know of this is "hardware" or "organizations." Viatron was a company that manufactured (if I recall correctly) an intelligent terminal in the 1970's. It made quite a splash at the time but folded, whether because of pricing, reliability, or what-all. I'm really surprised there isn't already an article. Regarding Viatron: Some of the original user manuals and programming guides, complete with photos of the system, are available here. I think there is enough information here to write a coherent article.

The name shell originates from shells being an outer layer of interface between the user and the internals of the operating system (the kernel).
