WHAT'S IN THIS MANUAL?
This manual describes the operation and use of the ZT 8905/8906 Single Board Computer with
Pentium Processor. The term ZT 8905 is used throughout this manual to reference both the ZT 8905
and the ZT 8906, except where otherwise noted. Specific differences between the two are explicitly
stated. The following summarizes the focus of each major section in this manual.
Chapter 1, "Introduction," introduces the key features of the ZT 8905. It includes a product
definition, a list of product features, a functional block diagram, and a brief description of each block.
This chapter is most useful to those who wish to compare the features of the ZT 8905 against the
needs of a specific application.
Chapter 2, "Getting Started," summarizes the information needed to install and configure your
ZT 8905.
Chapter 3, "STD 32 Bus Interface," presents a detailed description of the ZT 8905 interface to the
STD 32 bus architecture. The topics discussed include compatibility, interrupt structure, and multiple
master operation.
Chapter 4, "Interrupt Controller," describes the two Intel-compatible 8259 cascaded interrupt
controllers. This chapter summarizes and illustrates the interrupt sources and the interrupt
controllers' programmable registers.
Chapter 5, "Counter/Timers," discusses the three programmable counter/timers. It includes a
diagram of the counter/timer architecture, a summary of operating modes, and descriptions of the
programmable registers.
Chapter 6, "DMA Controller," provides an overview of ZT 8905 DMA architecture and DMA
controller operation. Descriptions of DMA controller programmable registers are also included.
Chapter 7, "Real-Time Clock," lists the major features of the real-time clock and provides register
descriptions.
Chapter 8, "Serial Controller," discusses operation of the two serial ports and provides register
descriptions.
Chapter 9, "IEEE 1284 Parallel Port Interface," contains descriptions of the programmable
registers for the IEEE-1284 compatible printer interface.
Chapter 10, "Optional IDE Interface," covers the mounting and enabling of an optional local
Intelligent Drive Electronics (IDE) interface. It also discusses the types of configurations in which the
addition of a local hard disk can be an advantage.
Chapter 11, "System Registers," provides register descriptions and a brief overview of the System
registers used to control and monitor a variety of functions on the ZT 8905.
Chapter 12, "Watchdog Timer," explains operation of the watchdog timer and includes code for
arming and strobing the timer.
