<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">eight bits</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for byte that I've seen before include "Unit of (PC) memory" , "Computer's unit of stored memory" , "Unit of computer memory size" , "Computer memory unit of eight bits" , "Set of eight bits" .)
