“General Micro Systems says it has developed the industry’s
first PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) video graphics card that implements
an AGP video bus interface. The AGP port is implemented using
undefined pins on the same J1 and J2 connectors that are used to

often used in industrial control, telecom, imaging, aerospace,
military, and other performance-oriented embedded
applications.
