Overview
The S1856 (S1856S Tomahawk BX, and S1856S-V Tomahawk A+) is a quality,
high performance motherboard designed for Socket 370 Intel Celeron micropro-
cessors. The Tomahawk BX utilizes the Intel 440BX AGPset with AMI BIOS.
The Tomahawk A+ uses the VIA Apollo Pro Plus AGPset with Award BIOS.
Both boards can support Celeron CPU speeds of 300MHz through 400MHz,
and host bus speeds of 66MHz to 100MHz.
The S1846 motherboard, with built-in AGP slot, provides high performance
capabilities that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as
CAD, CAM, CAE, desktop publishing, 3D animation, and video production.
This system board in an ATX form factor offers far more features and
expandability than Micro ATX models. Some of the features included are
onboard dual channel PCI PIO, Bus Master IDE and UltraDMA/33, onboard
floppy controller, and onboard high speed I/O.
Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Tomahawk BX/A+.
With I/O and drive controller support built onboard, the one AGP slot, five PCI
and two ISA slots (one shared, seven usable) are free for numerous add-on
expansion cards.
