Be, Incorporated was the company that developed the BeOS operating system and BeBox computer. ...
BeOS was an operating system for personal computers which began development by Be Incorporated in 1991. ...
The BeBox made its debut in October 1995 (BeBox Dual603-66). The processors were upgraded to 133MHz in August 1996 (BeBox Dual603e-133). Production was halted at the end of 1996, following the port of BeOS to the Macintosh, in order for the company to concentrate on software. Be sold around 1000 66MHz BeBoxes and 800 133MHz BeBoxes. 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Hardware specifications
Initial prototypes were equipped with two AT&T Hobbit processors and three DSPs. The Hobbit was a microprocessor design of the early 1990s from AT&T. It developed from their CRISP (C-language Reduced Instruction Set Processor) design that was in turn developed from the C Machine experimental efforts in the late 1980s at Bell Labs. ...
A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time. ...
Of particular note were the CPU load meters on the front of the unit, and the GeekPort in back, which allowed for experimentation. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ...
- Two PowerPC 603 processors running at 66 or 133 MHz (a prototype version has also been found with two 200 MHz CPUs, though it was never released to the public)
- GeekPort: a digital and analog I/O and DC power connector, 37-pin connector on the ISA bus.
- Two independent, bidirectional 8-bit ports
- Four A/D pins routing to a 12-bit A/D converter
- Four D/A pins connected to an independent 8-bit D/A converter
- Two signal ground reference pins
- Eleven power and ground pins:
- Two at +5 V, one at +12 V, one at -12 V, seven ground pins.
Is a microprocessor using a sub-set of the PowerPC Architecture design, used for embeded applications. ...

Input/output, or I/O, is the collection of interfaces that different functional units (sub-systems) of an information processing system use to communicate with each other, or to the signals (information) sent through those interfaces. ...
Direct current (DC or continuous current) is the continuous flow of electricity through a conductor such as a wire from high to low potential. ...
Industry Standard Architecture (in practice almost always shortened to ISA) is a bus standard for IBM compatibles introduced in 1984 that extends the XT bus architecture to 16 bits. ...
In electronics, an analog-to-digital converter (abbreviated ADC, A/D, or A to D) is a device that converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers. ...
In electronics, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC or D-to-A) is a device for converting a digital (usually binary) code to an analog signal (current, voltage or charges). ...
Ground symbols The term ground (or earth) usually means a common return path in electrical circuits. ...
