Thank you for choosing ROCKY-538TXV Pentium® with VGA Single Board
Computer. The ROCKY-538TXV board is an ISA/PCI form factor board, which
comes equipped with high performance Pentium® CPU and advanced high
performance multi-mode I/O, designed for the system manufacturers, integrators,
or VARs that want to provide all the performance, reliability, and quality at a
reasonable price.
This board has a built-in DiskOnChip™(DOC) Flash Disk suitable for embedded
applications. The DOC Flash Disk is 100% compatible to hard disk, which allows
users to use DOS command without having to install any extra software utility.
DOC currently is available from 2MB to 72MB. An alternative solution namely,
PROMDISK-Chip™, can be used in the same DOC socket.
An advanced high performance super AT I/O chip – Winbond W83977TF is used in
the ROCKY-538TXV board. Both on-chip UARTs are compatible with the
NS16C550. The parallel port and IDE interface are compatible with IBM PC/AT
and XT architectures.
In addition, the ROCKY-538TXV Ver. 6.x provides two 168-pin DIMM sockets for
on-board DRAM. The RAM module accepts 8, 16, 32,64 or 128MB memory. Total
on-board memory can be configured from 16MB to 256MB.
ROCKY-538TXV uses the advanced INTEL Chipset, 430TX which is 100% ISA/PCI
