EPC-8A Hardware Reference
30
Resident Flash memory (on the EPC-8A board) is I/O mapped and appears as an EXM
expansion module as if in EXM slot 31. SRAM is memory mapped. The PC BIOS is
shadowed into main memory at start-up.
Processor board
The EPC-8A processor board conforms with the VMEbus standard 6U form-factor.
Processor and Coprocessor
The Single-slot EPC-8A contains an Intel486 DX2 (32-bit bus interface) running at
66 MHz, with a built-in math coprocessor.
The Dual-slot EPC-8A contains an Intel486 DX4 (32-bit bus interface) running at
100 MHz, with a built-in math coprocessor.
