Super I/O Controller

The Super I/O chip (37C932) is part of the chip set, and is described on page 26.

The computer is supplied with a Logitech 2-button mouse, and a C3758A keyboard with the following features:

❒Space bar power on, to start the computer from the Off state (if power on from keyboard is enabled in the Setup program).

❒Windows key (next to the keys), which has the same effect as clicking the “Start” button on the Windows 95 task bar.

❒Pull-down key (next to the right key), which has the same effect as clicking the right mouse button.

Serial EEPROM

The computer uses 4 Kbit of Serial EEPROM implemented within a single 512 K ✕ 8-bit ROM chip. Serial EEPROM is ROM in which one byte at a time can be returned to its unprogrammed state by the application of appropriate electrical signals. In effect, it can be made to behave like very slow, non- volatile RAM. It is used for storing the contents of the CMOS memory (the tatoo string, the serial number, and the parameter settings for the Setup program), even during long periods of the computer being unplugged from the mains supply.

When installing a new system board, the Serial EEPROM will have a blank serial number field. This will be detected automatically by the BIOS, which will then prompt the user to enter the serial number which is printed on the identification label on the back of the computer.
