Aaeon SBC-357/4M Half Size Single Board Computer - 386SX-40, LCD, SSD, 4COM Simple Type: CPU Board

The SBC-357/4M is an all-in-one single board 386 computer with an onboard flat panel/CRT SVGA controller. It packs all the functions of an industrial computer and its display capabilities onto a single, half-size card. This means the SBC-357/4M is your absolute best solution for embedded applications. The onboard ISA-Bus, flat panel/CRT SVGA controller uses the CHIPS 65545 chipset with up to 1 MB of video memory (512KB onboard). It supports various LCD types including TFT, STN, Normal, and EL. The SBC-357/4M supports the optional M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 which is a new generation of high performance single-chip Flash Disk. It provides a Flash Disk (as a BIOS expansion) which doesn't require any bus, slots, or connectors. It is also the optimal solution for Single Board Computers because of its small size, easy integration, plug-and-play functionality, and its low power consumption. The DiskOnChip is available in capacities from 2MB to 288MB and fits in a standard 32-pin DIP socket. The SBC-357/4M also features three high speed RS-232 serial ports, and one RS-232/422/485 serial port with 16C550 UARTs, one bidirectional SPP/EPP/ECP parallel port, and a floppy drive controller, all onboard. If program execution is halted by a program bug or EMI, the board's watchdog timer can automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt. This ensures reliability in unmanned or standalone systems. All configuration is done through software. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS, and the network boot ROM image. This minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You can change the display BIOS or install a boot ROM simply by programming the Flash chip. The SBC-357/4M supports 5 V EDO or FP DRAM. It also provides one 72-pin SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) socket for its onboard system DRAM. These socket configures your system up to 20 MB of DRAM.
