Overview
The AX5T is a high-performance Pentium
-based system board that utilizes the
PCI/ISA architecture and ATX form factor.
It integrates the Intel 82430TX
PCIset, an Ultra I/O controller, and a PCI mode 4 enhanced IDE controller with
bus master and Ultra DMA/33 to enhance system performance. It has 256KB or
512KB pipeline-burst second-level cache onboard and support four single in-
line memory modules (SIMM) in addition two Dual in-line memory modules
(DIMM) that allow to mix EDO and SDRAM memory and expansion up to a
maximum of 256MB. AX5T uses 2M bit Flash ROM BIOS to reserve for future
new functions.

The other important features include:
Suspend To Hard Drive
"Immediately" turns on system and goes back to the original screen before power
down. You can resume your original work directly from hard disk without go
through the Win95 booting process and run your application again. Suspend to
Hard Drive saves your current work (system status, memory image) into hard
disk. Note that you have to use VESA compatible PCI VGA (AOpen S3 PCI
PV60/PT60), Sound Blaster compatible sound card with APM driver (AOpen
AW32/MP56), Rockwell compatible Modem (AOpen F56/MP56) for Suspend to
Hard Drive to work properly.

Internal Modem Card Wake-up
In conjunction with ATX soft power On/Off, it is possible to have system totally
power off and wakeup to automatically answer a phone call such as answering
machine or to send/receive fax. The most important break through is not only
external box modem but also internal modem card can be used to support
Modem Wake Up. The AX5T and MP56 internal modem card implement special
circuit (patent applied) to make sure the modem card work properly without any
power.
