The PowerPC-to-PCI bus bridge chip developed by Motorola for
the Ultra 603/Ultra 604 system board. It provides the necessary
interface between the MPC603/MPC604 processor and the Boot
ROM (secondary cache), the DRAM (system memory array), and
the PCI bus.
Motorola's component designation for the PowerPC 601
microprocessor.
Motorola's component designation for the PowerPC 603
microprocessor.
Motorola's component designation for the PowerPC 604
microprocessor.

Mean Time Between Failures. A statistical term relating to
reliability as expressed in power on hours (poh). It was originally
developed for the military and can be calculated several different
ways, yielding substantially different results. The specification is
based on a large number of samplings in one place, running
continuously, and the rate at which failure occurs. MTBF is not
representative of how long a device, or any individual device is
likely to last, nor is it a warranty, but rather, of the relative
reliability of a family of products.
The ability to record additional information, such as digitized
photographs, on a CD-ROM after a prior recording session has
ended.
A video system in which every pixel is refreshed during every
vertical scan. A non-interlaced system is normally more expensive
than an interlaced system of the same resolution, and is usually
said to have a more pleasing appearance.
A memory in which the data content is maintained whether the
power supply is connected or not.
