Introduction
Welcome to the PEAK-555A Pentium single board computer.
The PEAK 555A is a brand new generation of advanced technologies.
They are built with high performance socket7 CPU with clocks up to
100MHz, high performance PCI Bus and I/O's, and the brand new
technologies: the pipeline burst cache and the 4
th
generation VGA with
Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) are also included. An optional
ultra wide SCSI module also gives the PEAK 555A unique feature. It's
excellent to the system integrators, VARs, or turnkey vendor demanding
high performance computing, high performance I/O and the best
solution as the Industrial workstation, and the controller in the computer
telephony application.
The PEAK 555A can run with Intel Pentium MMX processor up to 233
MHz, the brand new socket7 CPU like AMD K6-2 with 100MHz external
clocks are also supported. The CPU support up to 400MHz very high
performance, moreover, think to its advanced design, the Peak 555A
also supports Intel low power CPU up to 266 MHz. It could run without
and cooling fan! Memory support up to 512 KB/1MB pipeline burst
cache and 512 MB SDRAM. This generates great computing power.
The Winbond integrates the floppy controller, two serial ports, one
parallel ports as well as the KBD/mouse controller. The two on-chip
UARTs are compatible with NS 16C550, and the parallel port support
EPP/ECP. The on board VGA is a high performance graphic and
video accelerator and 3D AGP built in, with the unified memory
architecture it can fully utilize the system memory up to 1280x1024, true
color, and 1600x1200, high color . The shared memory could be 8MB
for display purposes. The IDE now supports the Ultra DMA/33,
DMA/66 and the USB ports are also reserved, the socket for Disk on
Chip of the M-systems is on board, supporting up to 144MB. The 10
Base T/100 Base TX Ethernet Controller is standard on board with PCI
Interface. The proprietary PCI Bus is reserved. Now it’s for the
