User's Manual

7.1 Introduction

The PPC-150 has an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA interface. The specifi-

cations and features are described as follows:

Chipset

The PPC-150 uses a C&T 65555 chipset for its PCI/SVGA controller. It

supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat panel displays and

conventional analog CRT monitors. The 65555 VGA BIOS supports

monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In

addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors

(color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while

maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors

(i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency

(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

Display memory

With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT

displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K

colors. The display memory can be expanded to 4 MB for true-color

resolution of 1024 x 768.

Display types

CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PPC-150 can be

set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or on

both simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous display

mode. The CD-ROM disc includes three *.COM files in the subdirectory

Utility\vga\

which can be used to configure the display. In order to

use these configuration programs, type the file name and path at the DOS

prompt.
CT.COM: Enables CRT display only
FP.COM: Enables panel display only
SM.COM: Enables both displays simultaneously
