A byte-ordering method in memory where the address n of a word
corresponds to the least significant byte. In an addressed memory
word, the bytes are ordered (left to right) 3, 2, 1, 0, with 3 being
the most significant byte.

Multimedia Personal Computer
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 603e
microprocessor.
Motorola's component designation for the PowerPC 604
microprocessor.
MicroProcessing Unit
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 component
is likely to last, nor is it a warranty, but rather an indicator of the
relative reliability of a family of products.
