[evla-sw-discuss] Possible MIB Processors

[George Peck]

Following is a list of some of the devices that have been suggested
for consideration for the MIB.  Most are microprocessors with embedded
ethernet controllers.  The Compulab 586 is a computer on two boards
(called the CORE and BASE).  There may still be other solutions to be
considered that we have not yet found.

Compulab 586 CORE and BASE 

	 Compulab
	 We would need both Core and a Base
	 PC Architecture (PC104)
	 AMD 586 (Pentium Class) Processor
	 CORE
		Credit Card Size
		Must plug into 586 BASE or home built base
		ELAN SC520 CPU (x86 Architecture)
		Processor Includes Floating Point Unit
		Up to 4 Mbytes Flash ROM (not on CPU chip)
		Up to 64 Mbyte SDRAM (not on CPU chip)
		Up to 128 Mbyte Flash Disk (not on CPU chip)
		Synchronous Serial Interface (SPI compatible)
		Ethernet 100BaseT (no MII)
		100-133 MHZ 
	 Base
		CORE plugs in to BASE
		BASE is needed to provide power and all other
		     connections to CORE
		If we use the CORE, we might build our own BASE.
