PCI Evaluation Board (EVB) provides you with a quick and easy way to evaluate the DiskOnChip in platforms with a PCI extension slot. The EVB is a useful tool for designers who need to evaluate, program, duplicate or test the DiskOnChip, even before their target platform is available.
The DiskOnChip PCI EVB includes the following features: • Supports the current DiskOnChip product line. • Independent memory window for each device on board. Up to four DiskOnChip form factors can be simultaneously activated on this EVB. • Supports 3.3V and 5V DIP and DIMM devices.

5.2 Using the DiskOnChip EVB as a Boot Device (DOS Example) The DiskOnChip EVB may be used either as an additional hard drive or as the system’s boot device (drive C:). When shipped, the default settings of the DiskOnChip cause it to be installed as the next available drive.
After re-booting, the DiskOnChip is identified as drive C. 5.3 Identifying the DiskOnChip in the EVB There are two utilities that can identify the DiskOnChip chip mounted on the EVB. You can use “DINFO” when the drivers are correctly loaded (indicated by the sign-on messages display). If the messages were not displayed, use DINFO /DIRECT to search for the DiskOnChip.
The DiskOnChip PCI Evaluation Board may be ordered in several configurations, depending on the DiskOnChip you need to evaluate. The following table can help you decide which configuration you need to order for your system. Note that the DIP and SODIMM sockets are available in all configurations.
BIOS. Please refer to the DiskOnChip software tools manual and read about the various firmware flags in DFORMAT. Ensure that pin 1 of DiskOnChip is aligned with Pin 1 pad on the board. Reverse insertion will render the DiskOnChip unusable.
