the ReadyBoard product’s standard PC-style connectors accessible on the front I/O panel, plus adds
PC-style connectors for two additional serial ports (4 total), two additional USB ports (4 total), one
parallel port connector, three audio connectors, and a slot for a CompactFlash card. You can install
up to two PC/104, PCI-104, or PC/104-Plus expansion boards into the ReadySystem. The
ReadySystem comes pre-tested and ready for application loading to provide customers with the
fastest possible deployment of their embedded applications. Refer to the specific ReadySystem
Users Guide on the web site or the Documentation and Support Software (Doc & SW) CD-ROM
provided with the first system shipment (only) for more information.
• ReadyBoard™ 550 – This EPIC single board computer (SBC) used for high volume embedded
applications provides designers with a low cost, low-power choice of high performance processors
with the VIA Eden™ 1GHz ESP 10000, 533MHz ESP 5000, or 300MHz ESP 3000 CPUs.
In addition to the standard ReadyBoard features (4.5” x 6.5” form factor, PC-style connectors,
