IBM Artic 960

IBM Artic 960 ... communication applications and protocols, and it can provide bus-mastering capabilities for peer-to-peer transfers across the Micro Channel. It's 32-bit wide bus provides increased bandwidth and yields improved coprocessor performance.

Using the ARTIC 960 MCA Adapter as a platform, developers can create state-of-the-art communications solutions by programming or designing custom Application Interface Boards (AIBs), and they can develop solutions in a variety of host computers and extend them with other protocols and AIBs. AIBs utilizing the Micro Channel 960 architecture are also fully compatible with PCI architecture.
