Hello Wojciech,
WP> you mean 100MB or 100Mb?
Assume the following definitions for anything I write where
I don't explicitly define otherwise...
MB = Megabit = 1,000,000 bits.
Mb = Megabyte = 1,000,000 bytes.
(unless I'm talking about memory, where "16Mb"
probably implies 2^24 bytes. ;-)
Kb = Kilobyte = 1,024 bytes (note the upper-case K).
kB = kilobit = 1,000 bits.
km = kilometre = 1,000 metres.
GB/S = wishful thinking.
Where practical I try to stick to the SI intepretation of
prefixes like this.
...hope this helps.
Regards,
