<hardware, standard> A low-profile, low TCOmotherboard
design created jointly by Intel Corp., IBM, DEC and
other PC vendors. In contrast to the traditional single-board
design, NLX uses a riser card to carry PCI, ISA and
AGPbus data (despite Intel's stated intent to rid PC
motherboards of the ISAbus by 2000).
Version 1.2 of NLX is the final specification, and was frozen
in March 1997. Minor modifications appear in the form of
"Engineering Change Requests".
