Actual Entry (non editable)
Super Voyager VLB-II (c) 1993 AMI [American Megatrends, Inc.] The Super Voyager VLB-II is an enterprise-grade 80486 Baby AT motherboard engineered and manufactured directly by American Megatrends, Inc. (AMI) around 1993. Positioned as a high-reliability hardware foundation for mid-range servers and corporate workstations, the board is built around an early 168-pin Socket 2/3 footprint and driven by AMI's custom proprietary core logic chipset. It provides stable compatibility for Intel 80486SX, DX, and early DX2 processors operating on 25 MHz or 33 MHz Front-Side Bus lines. Its expansion sub-system features two high-speed 32-bit VESA Local Bus (VLB) slots integrated alongside seven 16-bit ISA slots, requiring a dedicated multi-I/O controller card for storage and communications. Memory management is routed through eight 30-pin SIMM sockets supporting Fast Page Mode (FPM) DRAM, complemented by a modular DIP-packaged secondary L2 static cache (SRAM) matrix expandable up to 256 KB. - TRIVIA - The Proprietary Core Logic: Just like its successor, the VLB-II showcases AMI's unique position in the market as a complete vertically integrated developer. By manufacturing their own core logic controller chips to interface directly with their iconic AMIBIOS, AMI ensured that memory timing, cache synchronization, and ISA/VLB bus arbitration occurred with near-zero latency overhead, minimizing hardware-level crashes. Heavy Industrial Engineering: The physical layout of the Super Voyager VLB-II is massive and dense, featuring heavy multi-layer PCB tracing designed to mitigate RF interference and voltage drop-offs. This heavy-duty build quality made the board a favorite among industrial equipment builders and corporate network administrators who required systems capable of running 24/7 without thermal or electrical degradation. - SOURCES - Machine's Bios.
