Nid teclyn cof yw ‘dongle’. 

“This computer term has two different meanings:

1. A security key. This is a little hardware device that plugs into the serial or USB port of a computer. Its purpose is to ensure that only authorized users can use certain software applications.

2. A laptop Ethernet card adapter. This is a little connector that attaches to a PC card in a laptop on one end, and to an Ethernet cable on the other end. Since most PC (or PCMCIA) network interface cards are too small to connect directly to a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable, they need this little adapter that connects the card to the cable.”

Rhaid cyfaddef mai ‘dongl’ dwi’n ei ddweud, a dyna fyddwn i’n ei ysgrifennu, mae’n siŵr.

Helo Bethan,

 

'Cof bach' ydi un o'r ymadroddion ydw i wedi ei glywed am y ddyfais hon, sy'n ffitio ym mhorth USB y cyfrifiadur.  Hynny, neu 'dongyl' gan ambell un ar lafar.

 

Cofion gorau,

Huw
