Appendix A: Technical Information

Memory Address Setting

Kelvin uses the A000-C7FF memory address seg-
ment. Some memory manager programs may try to
use this address segment. If you encounter a conflict,
add an exclusion statement in your CONFIG.SYS
file, to exclude the Kelvin address segment from
being used. Refer to your software program user's
manual for details on using an exclusion statement.

VESA Support

Kelvin is designed to support the VESA BIOS Exten-
sion (VBE) through its BIOS. The VESA BIOS Exten-
sion standard is a separate standard from VESA
Local BUS (VLB). Extended modes can be selected
through the VESA option in the application you are
running. The BIOS supports the VESA 1.2 specifica-
tion.
The Kelvin EZ-VLB and Kelvin 64-VLB are designed
to support the VESA Local Bus (VL-Bus) standard.
The local bus design provides 32-bit data transfer
between the video card and the CPU for incredibly
fast graphics.
