Overview
The
10 mainboard combines the advanced capabilities of the Intel
82430VX
with a high-performance concurrent
local bus architecture
to provide the ideal platform for unleashing the unsurpassed speed and power of
the Intel Pentium processor.
This highly-flexible mainboard is designed to run a full range of Intel Pentium,
Cyrix 6x86, IBM
AMD-KS processors, and can be easily upgraded
using its 32 l-pin ZIF socket. The processor’s advanced performance is
complemented by a second level write back Pipeline Burst
cache of up
to 5 12KB and main memory of up to 128MB DRAM. The main memory is
installed using the board’s two
DIMM sockets that accept lightning-fast
The PT-20 10 integrates a full set of I/O features
including two
UART compatible serial ports, one
capable parallel port, and one
Floppy Disk Drive controller. The
