PDF datasheets for Zida Tomato 6ALX

Document Revision: 1.1. Intended for Zida Tomato 6ABX and 6ALX.

Congratulations on purchasing the highest performance 6ABX/LX PENTIUM II motherboard. With the advanced technologies available today, this motherboard is designed to optimize for Intel’s PENTIUM II processors at speeds of 100 Mhz/ 66 Mhz bus clock. Three unbuffered, 3.3 Volts, 168-pin DIMM sockets are included for supporting 16MB to 512M SDRAM. A Slot 1 connector allows an easy upgrade path for the future PENTIUM II processors.

This motherboard maximum utilizes Intel's 82440BX / LX PCI chipset. The Intel 82371AB PCI/ISA IDE Xccelerator (PIIX4) provides an integrated Bus Mastering IDE controller with two high performances IDE interfaces for up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives or CD-ROM). The integrated super I/O controller integrates the standard PC I/O functions: floppy interface, two FIFO serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel port, and support for an IrDA and Consumer Infra Red compatible interface.

The 6ABX is designed to support the new graphic interface standard, Accelerated Graphic Port (AGP), The AGP interface can reach a theoretical ~532Mbytes/sec transfer rate for 3D graphics data. The on-board 32-bit PCI local bus slots allows a higher bandwidth data path, which serves as a super highway, for intensive data-movement such as video or networking. The BIOS support PCI bridge user configuration, which allows for further expansion of the system with PCI peripherals. Up to three 16-bit ISA slots allow this board backward hardware compatible with the older expansion card. A total of seven expansion slots may be populated with full length add-in cards, since one PCI and ISA slot share the same chassis I/O panel.
