Interface Specifications ................... 67 CHAPTER 1 General Information This chapter gives background informa- tion on the PCM-4824. Sections include: • Card specifications • Card layout and dimensions Introduction The PCM-4824 is the ultimate cost-effective solution for limited space applications. It offers all the functions of an AT-compatible industrial computer on a single board by taking only a tiny space area as that of a 3 1/2" hard drive. Supporting high-performance 486 processors from 486DX up to 486DX4-120 CPUs including 5x86 CPUs, the PCM-4824 comes with a 4-channel TTL level compatible digital I/O feature that allows for a complete process- ing system. For maximum performance, the PCM-4824 also supports an EDO/Normal DRAM SIMM socket that can take up to 32MB memory. On-board features include support for VL-Bus Enhanced IDE interface with up to Mode 3 transfer protocol, two serial ports (RS-232 and RS-232/422/485) with DB-9 connector as COM1, a mini-DIN PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface. A local bus SVGA/ LCD display controller (LCD, EL and CRT displays) allows LCD screen resolutions
