Chapter 3 Hardware Description

3.9 Onboard Multi-I/O

The onboard multi-I/O chip, W83977TF, supports a keyboard controller
(AMI copyright), two serial ports, one parallel port, one floppy controller
and one IrDA port. The serial ports are 16550 UART compatible. The
parallel port features high-speed EPP/ECP mode. The floppy controller
supports up to 2.88MB format.

3.10 Onboard AGP Slot

The AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot supports AGP compliant
VGA cards to achieve rich 3D and video graphics display. AGP is a
platform bus specification that enables 3D graphics capabilities including
support for z-buffering, alpha blending and faster texture mapping.

3.11 Hardware Monitoring IC

The TI7NBF comes with the Winbond W83781D hardware monitoring
IC. It monitors several hardware parameters including power supply
voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures, which are very important for a
high-end computer system to work stable and properly.

3.12 Onboard Audio

The onboard audio consists of the Creative ES1373 Chip + AC97. With a
PCI Bus Mastering interface with DOS compatibility, it supports 32
voices wavetable, surround sound, 3D audio, and audio effects such as
reverb and chorus. Creative ES1373 uses single, shareable PCI interrupt
and is PC97/PC98 compliant. The onboard audio shares the same
interrupt with PCI2 slot, INTB#.
