CMOS enters Pentium II graphics and business workstation market with MSRP of $2,200.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 1997--CMOS Corp., technology innovator and manufacturer of servers, workstations and notebooks, today announced that Pentium II workstations configured for CAD, design, engineering and complex business applications have begun shipping to major corporate clients, the target market for the company's networked solutions to the enterprise. Committed to providing computer systems consistently in the forefront of technological advancements, CMOS' Signature series of Pentium II workstations offer an inexpensive and powerful tool for demanding professionals in the corporate environment. CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. , which was founded in 1986 and maintains headquarters in the heart of Silicon Valley, established technology leadership with R&D innovation throughout the late 1980's and has been associated with leading edge software enhancements since its inception. Signature Pentium II workstations represent the most recent product introduction by CMOS, which began shipping desktop systems to more demanding corporate clients in 1987. The company's focus continues to remain on affordable computing solutions for the enterprise. Although custom Pentium II workstation configurations are available, attractively priced standard base systems offer all the features most design and business professionals require, including: 233 or 266 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. Intel Pentium II Processor; PCI/ISA Architecture; Integrated, Enhanced IDE/Super-I/O On-board Supports for up to 4 IDE Devices; 64 MB EDO RAM (upgradable to 1 GB); Plug & Play flash BIOS; 32-bit Fast PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC. (2) (New Internet Computer) An earlier Linux-based computer from The New Internet Computer Company (NICC), Palo Alto, CA. ; 16x SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). ; Matrox Millenium Graphics Card. Signature Pentium II workstations are also Green Featured and Energy Compliant, meeting world-wide emissions and safety standard. Windows NT Workstation 4.0, factory installed. Standard Specifications Include: -- 233 or 266 MHz Pentium II Processor -- 64MB EDO RAM -- 16X CD-ROM -- 2.1 IDE Hard Drive -- Matrox Millenium Graphics Card -- 2MB VRAM See video RAM.
