About this computer hardware crossword
Four Across answers cross four Down answers about selected computer components, data-holding categories and input or output devices. One word-completion clue spells out part of RAM; the other answers also use full words. This 11×10 vocabulary game is distinct from our mixed desk-side word break. Its selected terms are not a list of everything a computer must contain, and peripherals are optional. Use each device's function and crossing letters to check your answer.
