PCWS Eclipse Hardware Configuration
What's Inside?
Texas Instruments PC1211 PCMCIA Controller
This device resides on the PCI bus and provides an interface to the PCMCIA CardBus
connector located on the left side of the Eclipse System Unit.
Realtek RTL8139B 10/100 Ethernet Controller
The RTL8139B is a highly integrated single-chip Fast Ethernet Controller coupled
with a 10BaseT (IEEE 802.3) or 100BaseT (IEEE 802.3u) Ethernet transceiver.

IT8888F PCI-to-ISA Bridge
The IT8888F serves as a bridge between the PCI bus and a legacy ISA Bus. This
device is used because the Intel i810 Chipset does not include support for the ISA, but
the Altera PLD and Disk On Chip devices require an ISA bus.
Disk On Chip
U30 is the Disk On Chip (DOC) socket. This device consists of a block of between
8M and 64M of Flash EPROM. Firmware located on the DOC and BIOS support
make the device appear as a bootable or non-bootable hard disk drive. When installed
and configured properly, the DOC appears to the BIOS as yet another bootable or
non-bootable device.
MICROS offers an 8M version of the Disk On Chip.
AC97 Audio
The Intel i810 chipset supports the Audio Codec '97 digital audio component
specification. The specification consists of a 2 device audio solution comprised of a
digital component, (the ICH) and a high quality analog component (the Analog
Devices AD1811A) that includes digital to analog conversion (DAC), analog to digital
conversion (ADC), mixer, and IO.
