Xeon is a brand name, like Pentium or Celeron. The river names are internal code names. Deschutes, Tillimook, Merced, etc. Kevin

Single-Board Computers -- VME board has flexible I/O for K6, Pentium By David Lieberman Cincinnati - The VS PSE/Pxx board from Concurrent Technologies Inc. combines an Intel processor, a 100-MHz local bus and a wealth of flexible I/O into the VMEbus environment. This single-board computer can accommodate Pentium MMX and AMD K6 microprocessors with speeds from 133 MHz to 233 MHz, and beyond. The board accommodates 512 kbytes or 1 Mbyte of fast, 64-bit-wide cache, and it supports up to 256 Mbytes of 64-bit wide SDRAM "for users who need to support large, function-rich operating systems," said Glen Fawcett, company president. It contains a 512-kbyte flash EPROM for its BIOS and, for embedded applications, the board can also incorporate 4 or 8 Mbytes of additional flash. On the I/O front, the VS PSE/Pxx contains both EIDE and Ultra-SCSI interfaces, the former supporting Ultra-DMA. The latter, based on a Symbios Logic 53C860 SCSI processor, supports both SCSI-1 and SCSI-2, as well as single-ended asynchronous or synchronous transfers with active termination and signal negation. Both EIDE and Ultra-SCSI are accessible by means of the board's P2 connector. The board is, likewise, flexible as far as its Ethernet interface is concerned. Based on a Digital 21143 Ethernet controller, it supports both 10 Base T and 100 Base TX. A Category 5 UTP cable can be used with the Ethernet interface through a front-panel RJ-45 connector. The Ethernet interface resides on a PMC expansion board, along with a Cirrus Logic graphics controller, which also has outside access through the front panel. Other I/O includes a mouse interface, keyboard interface, floppy-disk interface, two Universal Serial Bus (USB) interfaces and a parallel printer, plus two RS-232C serial channels. The I/O functionality of the VS PSE/Pxx can be further enhanced with an optional PMC carrier board which allows the SBC to control two additional PMC cards. The VS PSE/Pxx supports such operating systems as VxWorks, QNX, Solaris and Windows NT. With a 233-MHz Pentium and 16 Mbytes of DRAM, it's $3,450 each in 100-unit lots and is available now.
