Introduction

Welcome to the ROCKY-P258BX Pentium

®

II / III Single Board

Computer. The ROCKY-P258BX is a PICMG bus form factor
board. It is equipped with high performance Pentium

®

II / III

Processor and advanced high performance multi-mode I/O,
designed for the system manufacturers, integrators, or VARs
that want to provide all the performance, reliability, and quality
at a reasonable price.

This board has a built-in DiskOnChip™(DOC) Flash Disk socket
for embedded application. The DOC Flash Disk is software
compatible to hard disk. User can use any DOS command
without any extra software utility. The DOC currently is available
from 2MB to 72MB.

An advanced high performance super AT I/O chip – Winbond
W83977TF is used in the ROCKY-P258BX board. The on-chip
UARTs are compatible with the NS16C550. The parallel port and
IDE interface are compatible with IBM PC/AT architecture.

ROCKY-P258BX uses the advanced INTEL AGPset 82443BX
Host Bridge Chipset, which is 100% ISA/PCI compatible chipset
with PCI 2.1 standard.

More detail specifications of ROCKY-P258BX are listed on the
next page.
