RISC Coprocessor Board for PCI Bus

A PCI based co-processor board with a high performance RISC processor was implemented to provide superior computing power for IBM PCs. At a time when PC platforms had limited CPU performance and when RISC processors were readily available it was popular to use add-on boards to perform co-processing functions. This board was designed using an Intel high-speed i960 RISC processor and a V3 PCI Bridge. It had its own local SDRAM with a controller to interface to the PCI Bridge.
