This Super Socket 7 compliant single board computer will accept Intel Pentium MMX, AMD

K6-2 CPU chips. Processing speeds up to 400 MHz are currently available. The board is

compatible with popular operating systems such as Windows CE, QNX, Windows NT/95/98,

and VxWorks.

A full complement of standard I/O ports is included on the board. Additional I/O expansion is

available through the high speed PCI-based PC/104-Plus expansion site (which supports both

PC/104 and PC/104-Plus expansion modules).

System memory expansion is supported with a high-reliability latching 168-pin DIMM socket.

Low power 3.3V 168-pin DIMM modules up to 256 MB are available. EDO and SDRAM

modules (PC-66 and PC-100) are accepted (see specifications on page 3). Application programs

and files can be stored on an optional bootable DiskOnChip (DOC) device. Up to 144 MB of

plug-in DOC memory is supported.
