Komodo was the codename for the "PC" cards used in the Cisco 6500 switches and 7600 routers. The Komodo was a universal PC card based on two Intel Pentium III 1Ghz processors and different sized DDR RAM configurations. Various daughter cards could be attached, changing the cards abilities, interfaces, and performance.
