• PCI transfer rate up to 132MB/sec
• PCI bus master
• Up to 4MB of local SRAM memory
• Configurable from T9 network

The ADM-T9 is a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) which has been designed with two main objectives: to bring the huge floating point power of Alpha processors into existing T9 systems, and to add fast inter-processor communication to Alpha nodes in a Parallel network through DS links. This board can be fitted to one of the on-board PCI slots of an ADC-PMC or an ADC-VME.
