Does someone make a board and support software for the 960 to go in an
AT or EISA bus? The board will be running a communications protocol
while the main CPU does other things, and this is a prototype system
only, so this is the way they want to do it.

Leafing through my Intel Solutions960 book...` (1) First, if you want to do your own board eventually, call Intel and ask for the schematics for their TOMCAT board. It's not a production board, but they are more than happy to send the schematics. They used it as a benchmarking system. It includes: 33 MHz 80960CA, 2 MB Flash, Boot Eprom, 82596CA Ethernet Controller, 2 serial ports, 3 timers/counters, 4 MB static RAM 0 w/s, wirewrap area. (2) UFO Systems LaserBoard LB-IV Laser Printer Controller. Contact: Earl Kyle Phone (716) 248-3372 (3) Router Engines Incorporated. 33Mhz i960CA, dual 82596CA ethernet controllers, 2-8 MB DRAM, 3 timer/counters. Phone (818) 880-6596 (4) LanQuest Group: LANscript Network PDL Server (*** EISA or AT) Phone (408) 283-8900

I vaguely remember seeing something about a place for a 960 chip in a Hauppage (sp?) motherboard (386) offering. Check out BYTE mag ads, I think. Jeff Sicherman

Intel Corporation sells a board called an 'EVA960KB', which contains a 960KB (not the faster 960CA) processor, and either 4MB or 12MB of DRAM. Other board designs are available as noted in an eariler poster's article: - Router Engines (Newport Beach, CA - 818-880-6596) - a design with 2 596's (ethernet chips) and a PC/AT bus interface - Intel's free designs for the TOMCAT board (despite the picture in Solutions 960, not a bus board), the EV960CA, and others. The Tomcat board also includes a 596 ethernet chip There will also be other ISA, MCA, and NuBus boards coming available during 1991. Please contact your local Intel Field Sales Office, and ask for information about the 960. S. McGeady Solutions 960 Program Manager Intel Corporation

Check out BYTE mag ads, I think. Well, it was an i860 not an i960, and the motherboard was an i486 not an 80386, but except for that....
