General Description

The MVME1603/1604 is a VMEmodule single-board computer equipped
with a PowerPC™ Series microprocessor. The MVME1603 is equipped
with a PowerPC 603 microprocessor; the MVME1604 has a PowerPC 604.
256KB L2 cache memory is available as an option on certain models of the
MVME1603 and the MVME1604.
The MVME1603/1604 family has two parallel branches based on two
distinct versions (MVME1600-001 and MVME1600-011) of the base
board. The differences between the MVME1600-001 and the
MVME1600-011 lie mainly in the area of I/O handling; the logic design is
the same for both versions.
As shown in the Features section, The MVME1603/MVME1604 offers
many standard features desirable in a computer system—such as
synchronous and asynchronous serial ports, parallel port, boot ROM and
DRAM, SCSI, Ethernet, provision for a disk drive mezzanine, and
(MVME1600-001 base board only) keyboard, mouse, and graphics
