The DRAM map decoder can be programmed to accommodate different base 
address(es) and sizes of mezzanine boards.  The onboard DRAM is disabled 
by a local bus reset and  must be programmed before the DRAM can be 
accessed.  Refer to the MCECC in the MVME166/MVME167/MVME187 Single 
Board Computers Programmer’s Reference Guide
 for detailed programming 
information.  Most DRAM devices require some number of access cycles 
before the DRAMs are fully operational.  Normally this requirement is met by 
the onboard refresh circuitry and normal DRAM installation.  However, 
software should insure a  minimum of 10 initialization cycles are performed to 
each bank of RAM.  
Battery Backed Up RAM and Clock
The MK48T08 RAM and clock chip is used on the MVME166.  This chip 
provides a time of day clock, oscillator, crystal, power fail detection, memory 
write protection, 8KB of RAM, and a battery in one 28-pin package.  The clock 
provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year in BCD 24-hour 
format.  Corrections for 28-, 29- (leap year), and 30-day months are 
automatically made.  No interrupts are generated by the clock.  The MK48T08 
is an 8 bit device; however, the interface provided by the PCCchip2 supports 
8-, 16-, and 32-bit accesses to the MK48T08.  Refer to the MK48T08 data sheet 
for detailed programming information.  
VMEbus Interface
The local bus to VMEbus interface, the VMEbus to local bus interface, and the 
local-VMEbus DMA controller functions on the MVME166 are provided by 
the VMEchip2.  The VMEchip2 can also provide the VMEbus system controller 
functions.  
VME Subsystem Bus (VSB) Interface
The local bus to VSB interface and the VSB to local bus interface are provided 
by the VSBchip2, only on the MVME166 board.  The VSB uses the P2 connector 
of the MVME166.  
I/O Interfaces
The MVME166 provides onboard I/O for many system applications.  The I/O 
functions include serial ports, printer port, Ethernet transceiver interface, and 
SCSI mass storage interface.  
Serial Port Interface
The CD2401 serial controller chip (SCC) is used to implement the four serial 
ports.  The serial ports support the standard baud rates (110 to 38.4K baud).  
The four serial ports on the MVME166 are functionally the same.  All serial 
ports are full function asynchronous or synchronous ports.  They can operate
