Question

Can I use the USB on the HX-chipset ?

Answer

 The chipset does support USB but the BIOS does not support it. The MSM-P5 has no filters included. The 2 pins are directly connected to the 82371. WIN98 on will recognize the USB- port. DOS mode and USB is not supported.

Question

By using NT, the booting up takes more than 5 minutes. Using WIN95, goes normally.

Answer

 WINDOWS NT detects all hardware devices at the beginning of booting. The attached Hardware might not easily be recognized and therefore takes up to several minutes to load the parameters into the operating system.WIN 95 reads the values directly from the BIOS, therefore the time to boot up the system is relatively quick in comparison to WIN NT.

 The demo program supports only a resolution of 640x480 and 800x600 in WIN95. The demo program of C&T is capable of only saving pictures in different extensions: a. Windows device-independent bitmap 24 bit RGB, 8 bit color, or 8 bit grey-scaleb. Targa 32, 24, or 16 bit RGB, 8 bit color, or 8 bit grey scale. d.

Question

How many additional PCI units (slots) can I attach?

Answer

 There are 3 more master unites, which will be detected. Since we still use the C&T 69000, which needs no IRQ, we have those 3 for free use. This might change in the future due to another VGA- controller.

Question

Why can I not install a WIN98 and NT on an e.g. MSM-P5SEN ?

Answer

 If you use a MSM-P5SEN with no VGA, then one is not able to install a WIN98 or NT due to the fact, that those OS are looking for a VGA being attached. I am told, that with embedded NT, one can disable the VGA search while installing it.
