Sockets on the Little Board/286 allow onboard EPROM (up to 256K bytes) or battery-backed
RAM (up to 64K bytes) to function as a bootable DOS compatible Solid State Disk (SSD) drive.
SSD operation offers several key advantages, including improved speed, reliability, and
ruggedness, as well as reduced power consumption. Ampro's optional SSD support software
converts DOS based applications into EPROM format automatically, without the need for special
programming techniques. In addition, Ampro's SSD Expansion Board, which matche the 5.75" x
8" form factor of the Little Board/286, can be used to add sixteen additional byte-wide device
sockets for larger SSD's.
A key advantage of the AT-compatibility of the Little Board/286 is that it runs the thousands of
software applications and utility packages developed for IBM's PC and PC/AT. Language
compilers, debugging aids, and software support packages for graphics, windowing, multi-tasking,
user interfaces, etc., are readily available. In addition, there is a large and growing selection of
DOS programs targeted at industrial and commercial applications such as communications, data
acquisition and control, terminal emulation, protocol conversion, etc.
The Little Board/286 is a member of Ampro's growing family of IBM compatible single board
systems. These products offer a broad range of price, performance, and feature alternatives in a
consistent physical and functional format
