General Description

The HS-2601A is a 100MHz Intel® BX chipset-based Mini PCI Bus Intel Mobile board. With features such as enhanced I/O effects with CRT/VGA, and LAN all combined, the HS-2601A is an ideal all-in-one compact-size board for the demanding embedded applications and IA platforms.

Its onboard DMA33 to IDE drive interface architecture allows the HS-2601A to support data transfers of 33MB/sec with a maximum of two IDE drives. Its Intel® BX chipset design makes it possible for the board to support most Intel Mobile microprocessors in the market, The C&T 69000 CRT/Panel display controller offers an on-chip 2MB memory that supports up to 1280x1024x256 colors display resolution.

For suitable installation into any size system with 8/16/32bit ISA and/or PCI slots operation, the board’s advanced PISA bus add-on feature allows user to easily obtain both ISA's 16bit and PCI's 32bit full set signals from a half size PISA slot. System memory is also sufficient with the two DIMM sockets that can support up to 256MB.

Additional onboard connectors include an advanced USB and IrDA ports providing faster data transmission, a DOS-compatible DiskOnChipsocket with a maximum capacity of 288MB, and one external RJ45 connector for 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet use.
