Page 98 The Printer Board is mainly composed of PowerPC 603e (U24) and Double Finger (U25). The data bus in the Printer Board branches off to a local data bus and a system data bus. These are connected in alternating connection with a Bus Transceiver. The local data bus is a 64-bit data bus directly connected to the PowerPC 603e.
