The starting point of the article is Gide's admission, hitherto unexamined, of the impression made on him by the story of Abelard and Heloise, particularly through the drama of Charles de Rémusat. The purpose of the article is to show how Rémusat's drama and the letters of Abelard and Heloise provided the impetus to the creation of La Porte étroiteand shaped Gide's ethical and metaphysical concerns in this récit.

This article reports that the benefit of internal devices is to reduce the number of components you need overall. Take a standard 56K modem, for instance. In a PCI version, there is no need to have a 16550C-compatible serial chip, and you can off load some of the signal processing functions to the CPU, which makes it a cheaper solution than an external box. A normal PCI tuner would have an onboard radio frequency device to receive the signal and an analogue-to-digital converter to digitise it, and some memory to store it before the direct memory access controller transfers the data to system memory over the PCI bus for processing and display. To implement an ATA interface for a PCI tuner card, you would need a lot of additional chips for buffering, PATA/SATA interface and an MPEG encoder to convert the analogue TV signal to an MPEG stream, which would push up the price. Since PC hardware is such a price-sensitive market, the idea is unlikely to be popular. Changing a device's interface will not improve compatibility with an operating system's driver.
