Introduction
The MiniStation is a Socket370-based Petit board with audio interface. Designed with the space-limited
applications in mind, the MiniStation is practically the finest embedded 686 board that exists. Using a
standardized format conforming to the size of a 5.25” HDD, MiniStation can adapt a wide variety of
Socket370 microprocessors by simply configuring its onboard jumpers. To simplify system integration, it
packs provisions such as super I/Os, digital I/Os, XVGA, LCD, Ethernet, solid state disk, all on a single
board. Unique embedded features such as 4 serial ports (3 x RS-232, 1 x RS-232/422/485) with +5V/12V
power capability and digital I/Os for UPS and simple automation control are exclusive design features that
allow adoption of an extensive array of PC peripherals.
