IOWA-MARK Half-size CPU Card
1.1 IOWA-MARK Overview
The IOWA-MARK VIA MARK half-size ISA CPU card is fully equipped with advanced
multi-mode I/Os. The IOWA-MARK CPU cards all come with 128MB of onboard memory
and are equipped with onboard audio. Two IOWA-MARK models support two SATA drives
that can be configured in a RAID configuration to ensure data integrity. The IOWA-MARK
is designed for system manufacturers, integrators, and VARs that want performance,
reliability, and quality at a reasonable price.
1.1.1 IOWA-MARK Models
The IOWA-MARK series has four models:
 IOWA-MARK-533-128MB-R10
 IOWA-MARK-533S-128MB-R10
 IOWA-MARK-800-128MB-R10
 IOWA-MARK-800S-128MB-R10
The specifications for the four models are show in Table 1-1.
