High Performance PC/AT Compatible Computer

The V5B is a high performance PC/AT compatible computer for the VMEbus with a Socket 7 MMX processor. Using architecture based around a local PCI bus, the V5B is designed for maximum real-world performance. Performance is further enhanced by the use of advanced memory technologies, processor speeds to 400MHz, SVGA GUI Accelerated PCI Bus Video, Fast SCSI-2, High Speed Ethernet, and VMEbus Block Mode Transfer capability. The result is high-end workstation performance in only one VMEbus slot!

Software Compatibility
The V5B Embedded PC is compatible with software written for the IBM PC/AT. Accordingly, it can run the wide variety of off-the-shelf software available for 80x86-based computers. SBS Technologies, Embedded Computers has driver-level support for a number of common operating systems including Microsoft's MS-DOS, Windows, Windows 95, and Windows NT, as well real-time operating systems such as QNX, VxWorks, and Linux.

Hardware Overview
The V5B features a new architecture based on the high speed PCI bus. As a result, peripherals such as video and Ethernet, as well as the VME interface, have a high-bandwidth connection to the processor. The V5B has been designed to provide all the features of a complete PC/AT motherboard, along with additional features such as built-in Ethernet, SCSI-2, and hardware extensions necessary for VMEbus Master/Slave capability. The V5B incorporates an advanced third generation ALI Aladdin III chipset that is completely compatible with industry standard PC hardware and software. For a fast and flexible interface to the VMEbus, the V5B uses the powerful Universe VMEbus Interface Controller.
