•
Multi-Speed Support: Supports one 150-200MHz Pentium Pro CPU on a
ZIF Socket 8.
ZIF Socket 8.
•
Intel Chipset: Features Intel's 440FX PCIset with I/O subsystems.
•
Easy Installation: Is equipped with BIOS that supports auto detection of hard
drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make setup of hard drives,
expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.

•
Error Checking and Correcting (ECC): Using Intel’s 440FX PCIset to-
gether with parity DRAM modules can detect multi-bit memory errors and
correct 1-bit memory errors.

•
Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS which
allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher
level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.) (See section V)

•
Versatile DRAM Memory Support: Supports 72-pin SIMMs of 4MB, 8MB,
16MB, 32MB or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 384MB. Sup-
ports both Fast Page Mode (FPM) and Extended Data Output (EDO) SIMMs.

•
Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports
and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be
directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections. Two
floppy drives of either 5.25" or 3.5" (1.44MB or 2.88MB) are also supported
without an external card. The Japanese "Floppy 3 mode" (3.5" 1.2MB)
floppy standard is also supported.

•
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master
IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two chan-
nels, provides faster data transfer rates, and supports Enhanced IDE devices
such as Tape Backup and CD-ROM drives. This controller supports PIO Modes
3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2. BIOS now supports IDE CD-
ROM or SCSI bootup.
