I'm not sure what you mean here, because the adjectives all cut out
other common constructs - a byte string, an analog computer, an IR or
UV display, a blind-compatible UI, a Unix domain socket, an in-memory
file, and a diesel power supply. Okay, I'm pushing it with the last
one (they're usually called gen sets, not power supplies), and I don't
often hear people talk about "magnetic files", but the rest are
definitely valid comparison/contrast terms.
