Introduction
The PPM-2030C
mainboard
is
compatible
with
the
PC/AT.
This
means that
virtually
all
the software
avail—
able
for
the
PC/AT
can also be
run on
a system
you
build
around the
PPM—2030C
mainboard.
The PPM-2030C incorporates the
Intel
80386SX
which is
a
32-bit CPU
with
a
16-bit
external data bus
and a
24-bit
external address bus.
The
80386SX
CPU
brings
the high-performance software
of
the
lntel
80386 architecture
to midrange
systems.
It
provides
the performance benefits
of
a
32-bit programming
architecture and the cost savings associated
with
16-bit
hardware systems.
Moreover,
the 803868X microprocessor
is 100% ob-
ject-code
compatible with
the
386, 286,
and 8086
microprocessors.
Therefore, PPM-2030C CPU-
based systems
optimize both for
performance and
cost.
The PPM-2030C
can
access
the
world's
largest
existing microcomputer software
base,
including
the
growing collection
of
32-bit software.
For
these reasons, the
PPM-2030C
mainboard
is
the
ideal
choice
for
a person seeking
affordable ’386
power.
The clear, well-illustrated instructions
in
this
manual
ensure that even
if
you
are a newcomer
to
the
com-
pUter world, you
will
have
your
system
installed
and
running with
a
minimum
of
effort.
