AAEON’s new compact size board PCM-6896 targets high-end multime-
dia and networking applications. This board is supported by Intel
Celeron and Pentium III CPUs, easy Upgrading allows you to take full
advantage of Intel’s Development of even-higher speed Celeron and
Pentium III CPUs. This is a perfect choice for embedded applications
that Require cost-effective high computing power communications
Products – whether video, voice, or data convergence over
Internet Protocol network infrastructures.
The PCM-6896 also adopts the 10/100MB Intel 815E Ethernet controller
that offers higher network performance and reliability. In addition, the
PCM-6896 also features power management to minimize power con-
sumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and supports three types
of power-saving features: Doze mode, Standby and Suspend modes.
The board’s watchdog timer automatically resets the system or gener-
ates an interrupt in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
The onboard compact flash will offer a larger memory bank for data
storage of all types. Compact Flash requires a fraction of power used to
drive floppy disk or CD-ROMs, also no battery is required to save the
data when the computer powers down.
The onboard 10/100BaseTx Ethernet interface and Sound Blaster?-
compatible audio opens up worlds of possibilities for kiosks, gaming
systems, POS systems, medical and educational products.
The Fast Ethernet controller provides a tenfold increase in
Network capability; and is fully compatible with traditional
10Mbps network facilities.
PCM-6896 also includes four high-speed serial ports (three RS-232, one
RS-232/422/485), one multimode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port, 2 floppy
drives, an Ultra DMA/100, Enhanced IDE controller supporting up to
two devices with data transfer rate up to 100MB per second, and a
keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. This AAEON embedded PC includes
almost everything you need for fast, worry-free embedded PC perfor-
mance.
The addition of PC/104 and PC/104 Plus will allow a wide selection of
accessory cards to be added to the PCM-6896. Such accessories as
Ultra Wide 2 SCSI, fax modem, vehicle power supply, extra DiskOnChip,
