Slot A
The physical and electrical specification for the
edge-connector used by {AMD}'s {Athlon} processor.
The connector allows for a higher {bus rate} than {Socket 7}
or {Super 7}. Slot A motherboards use {Compaq}'s {EV6} {bus
protocol}. Slot A is mechanically compatible but electrically
incompatible with {Intel}'s {Slot 1}.
