1.1 Introduction The PCA-6175 industrial grade CPU card uses Intel's highly ® acclaimed Pentium II processor and Intel 440LX PCI chipset. The card works with standard ISA or PCI/ISA-bus passive backplanes. The CPU provides 512 KB on-chip L2 cache, eliminating the need for external SRAM chips. It has two PCI EIDE interfaces (for up to four devices), and an FDD interface (for up to two devices). Other features include two RS-232 serial ports (16C550 UARTs with 16-byte FIFO or compatible), one enha
