General Description
The MCP750 is a single-slot single-board computer equipped with an
MPC750 PowerPC™ 750 Series microprocessor. The processor
implements a backside cache controller and the board comes with 1MB of
cache memory.
As shown in the
Features
section, the MCP750 offers many standard
features desirable in a CompactPCI computer system—such as PCI Bridge
and Interrupt Controller, an ECC Memory Controller chipset, 5MB to
9MB of linear FLASH memory, IDE Compact Flash memory, 16M to
256MB of ECC-protected DRAM, interface to a CompactPCI bus, and
several I/O peripherals.
Interrupts
Software interrupt handling via Raven (PCI-MPU bridge) and
Peripheral Bus Controller
Serial I/O
1 async port (COM1) via front panel. 2 async ports, 2 sync/async ports
via the transition module
Parallel I/O
IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel port (PC87307 SIO) via the transition
module
Ethernet I/O
10/100 Base-T connection via the front panel
PCI interface

Keyboard/mouse
interface
Support for keyboard and mouse input (PC87307 SIO) via the transition
module
Floppy disk
controller
Support for floppy disk drive (PC87307 SIO) via the transition module
CompactPCI
