The XVME-661 is a powerful VMEbus PC compatible processor module from Xycom Automation, the pioneer and leader in VMEbus PC technology. This powerful VMEbus processor integrates a Low Power Pentium III 700 MHz CPU with a PCI-to-VMEbus interface, allowing users to take advantage of the powerful multiprocessing capability of the VMEbus while using standard off-the-shelf PC software and operating systems.

The XVME-661 is a high performance, low power module built around the Intel® Pentium® III low power processor, supporting up to 256 MB of SDRAM (one 144-pin SODIMM). The XVME-661 allows for custom configuration and maximum flexibility with its 32-bit PMC site.

The XVME-661 offers many disk and storage choices and options including a Type I / II IDE CompactFlash site, a hard drive / floppy drive via optional single-slot module (XVME-977), and a hard drive / CD drive via optional single-slot module (XVME-979).

The XVME-661 module contains a wide breadth of I/O including PCI EIDE, dual Ethernet controllers, one Universal Serial Bus (USB) port (via XVME-974 breakout module on P2), two high-speed serial ports (COM2 on XVME-974), one EPP/ECP parallel port (via XVME-974 breakout module on P2), and a combined PS/2 style keyboard / mouse port. For I/O expansion, the 32-bit PMC site allows easy I/O expansion and configuration without the use of a carrier board.

Xycom Automation's I/O carrier modules (XVME-976) provide a mechanism for further I/O expansion using additional PMC, PC/104, PCI, and Short ISA modules.

The XVME-661 module is an unbeatable low power solution for high performance processing and I/O on a single-slot VMEbus module.
