Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Advantech's new PCA-6774 is a new Socket 370 half-sized CPU card
that will support up to 1.26GHz Pentium III with 512KB using VIA
VT8606"TwisterT" chipset. This SBC includes a 4X AGP controller, a
PCI Ethernet interface, and 36-bit TTL interface. Its design is based on
the half-sized CPU card and supports ISA bus expansion. Other on-board
features include an FDD, LPT, 2 USBs (4 USBs optional), and 2 serial
ports. The SSD solution supports CompactFlash cards. This product
uses a VIA TwisterT chip with Integrated Savage4 2D/3D/Video
Accelerator and supports 4X AGP VGA/LCD interface and up to
8/16/32 MB frame buffer using system memory. With the selection of
daughter boards, the PCA-6774 board can support a second LAN at
10/100Mbps, also this CPU card can support GigaLAN with Intel 82540.
