ZT 6980/6981/6983 ........................................................................................................... ® COMPACTPCI PROTOTYPING TOOLS Ziatech provides prototyping tools for designing CompactPCI systems. The ZT 6980 and ZT 6981 are designed for developers and system testers who need to verify the operation of cards for the Com- pactPCI bus while having access to the components on the card. The ZT 6980 lets developers test the op- eration of CompactPCI cards in The ZT 6980 Desktop PCI to desktop PCI systems. The ZT 6981 CompactPCI Extender Card. extends the CompactPCI bus via a DEC bridge to a CompactPCI and desktop PCI connector. The ZT 6983 allows desktop PCI cards to be plugged into CompactPCI backplanes.
