Pegasos II PowerPC Motherboard
PegasosPPC Platform

Using a modular motherboard design, the PegasosPPC Platform can be easily upgraded to fit your needs and demands. Using standard interfaces it enables the use of commodity components such as ATA hard drives, DDR memory and CD/DVD writers, as well as USB and Firewire peripherals.

The removable PowerPC™ processor card allows the use of compatible processors from IBM and Freescale which utilise the standard "60x" and "MPX" bus configurations. Currently offered are 600MHz G3 (750CXe) and 1GHz G4 (MPC7447).

The PegasosPPC G3 and G4 have reached end-of-life status and have been discontinued

The PegasosPPC Platform is based around the Pegasos II motherboard:

  • Micro ATX form factor (236mm x 172mm)
  • IEEE 1275 Firmware/boot interface
  • Marvell Discovery II (MV64361) System Controller
  • G3 or G4 PowerPC CPU
  • 184-pin 266MHz DDR RAM sockets
  • 1x AGP slot
  • 3x PCI slots with riser connector
  • 2x ATA100 IDE Channels
  • 3x IEEE1394 ports (400Mbit)
  • 3x USB 1.1 ports (12Mbit)
  • Gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet
  • AC97 Audio Subsystem
    • Stereo audio
    • Microphone
    • S/PDIF optical output
    • PC Gameport/MIDI
  • IrDA, Serial (RS232), Parallel (IEEE1284) and PS/2 (Keyboard & Mouse)
  • Floppy drive connector
Software

The PegasosPPC Platform's defined hardware abstraction layer and IEEE 1275 Firmware implementation allows operating systems and applications to be ported quickly and easily with full hardware support.
