The SBC includes a variety of onboard peripherals that eliminate the need for other I/O cards, including 48 parallel digital I/O lines, CRT and digital flat-panel video controller and interface, keyboard controller, PS/2 mouse support, LPT port, and an optional 12- bit A/D converter. Additional I/O expansion is possible by self-stacking modules plugged onto the PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors. The board offers support for rotational and solid-state disks. Two floppy disk drives and two UltraDMA 66 IDE drives can be connected. A socket for bootable Type I and II CompactFlash cards and a socket for an M-Systems DiskOnChip™ is included. The SBC is suitable for use in industrial automation, transportation, test and measurement, petrochemical, MIL/COTS, medical/ diagnostic equipment, communication gateways/routers, and homeland security.
