Auxiliary Video Connector (AVE)
The auxiliary video connector is a 20-pin connector located in-line with one
of the channel connectors on the system board. (Ed.
The 8580-Axx planar has *two* AVE slots.)
This connector allows video data to be passed to and from an adapter. The video
buffers can be turned off, and video output from the adapter can be sent
through the video DAC to the display connector. The full channel is available
for use by the adapter. Video output can be passed in only one direction at a
time. The 'dot clock' signal cannot drive both EXTCLK to the VGA and PCLK to
the DAC.
