5.1 Introduction

The PCM-9550F/FM/L has an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA
interface. The specifications and features are described as follows:

5.1.1 Chipset

The PCM-9550F/FM/L uses a C&T 6900/69030 chipset for its
PCI/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas
plasma flat panel displays, as well as conventional analog CRT
monitors. The 6900/69030 VGA BIOS supports monochrome
LCD, EL, color TFT, and STN LCD flat panel displays. In addition,
it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors
(color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes, while
maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e.
MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency
(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

5.1.2 Display memory

With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive
CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x
768 @ 64 K colors. With C&T 69030, the display memory can be
expanded to 4 MB for true-color resolution of 1024 x 768.

5.1.3 Display types

CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PCM-
9550F/FM/L can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT,
on a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is
initially set to simultaneous display mode. The CD utility disc
includes three *.COM files in the subdirectory
Biscuit\9550F\Utility which can be used to configure the display.
In order to use these configuration programs, type the file name
and path at the DOS prompt.
