Anyone have any leads on the origin of the word "motherboard" and who coined it? Thanks! d Hi, it's quite plain to see where , 'mother' came from. All other components,circuit boards and connectionsin a computer are attached to the MAIN, or (mother), electronic circuit board. And of course the 'board' comes from circuit board, Who coined it? No clue, sorry! Mike |
