    DA-660-8/16-LX User’s Manual Introduction Overview The DA-660 computer is ideal for embedded applications. This computer features a RISC CPU, RAM memory, and communication ports that connect to RS-232/422/485 serial devices and dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet. The Da-660 computer uses an Intel XScale IXP-422 266 Mhz RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU, which uses a CISC design, the RISC architecture and modern semiconductor technology provide this computer with a powerful computing engine and communication functions, but without generating a lot of heat.
