FEATURES

EP-6VBA Features:

•EP-6VBA is based on the Pentium® II/III Processor operating at 266 ~ 550MHz on Slot1. The board is configured by an ESSJ (Easy-Setting- Single-Jumper) to match your CPU clock speed.

•Designed with VIA Apollo Pro PCIset.

•Supports up to 768MB of DRAM (minimum of 8 MB) on board (please see Section 3-2).

•EP-6VBA will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using parity SDRAM memory modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and correct 1-bit memory errors.

•Supports (1) 16 bit ISA slots, (5) 32 bit PCI slots, (1) AGP slot, (1) AMR slot and provides (2) independent high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO Mode 3/4 and Ultra DMA 33/66 devices.

The EP-6VBA supports (5) PCI Bus Master slots and a jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces configuration confusion when plugging in PCI card(s).

•Supports ATAPI (e.g. CD-ROM) devices on both Primary and Secondary IDE interfaces.

•Designed with on chip Multi I/O: (1) floppy port, (1) parallel port (EPP, ECP), and (2) serial ports (16550 Fast UART).

Note: Japanese “Floppy 3 mode” is also supported

•Features Award Plug & Play BIOS. With Flash Memory you can always upgrade to the current BIOS as they are released. (http://www.epox.com/ please visit our Technical Support section for the latest updates)

•EP-6VBA utilizes a Lithium battery which provides environmental protec tion and longer battery life.
