System Overview

The Super Voyager LPX is a high performance all-in-one
motherboard with built-in local bus VGA and built-in local bus IDE.

The Super Voyager LPX motherboard supports the EPA Green PC
power management specification and provides an easy-to-use BIOS
Setup utility.

The VL-Bus Local Bus

The American Megatrends Super Voyager LPX Motherboard
conforms to the VESA VL-Bus specifications. The VL-Bus is
designed to standardize the hardware interface of peripherals
connected to a microprocessor-level local bus. The VL-Bus is
designed to be compatible with the Intel® i486 microprocessor
local bus. The VL-Bus Specification is a standard set of interface,
architecture, timings, electrical, and physical specifications that
permits all VL-Bus products to be totally interchangeable.

The Super Voyager LPX motherboard has a VL-Bus connector
mounted inline with a standard LPX connector. You must use a
VESA VL Riser card to use VL-Bus adapter cards.
