Introduction
The 486 all-in-One Single Board Computer comes equipped with either Intel /
AMD / Cyrix / SGS Thomson 80486 CPU series. Also included on-board are
CHIPS 65550 VGA GUI Accelerator controller, Ethernet controller, one
socket for Flash Disk, two serial RS-232 ports (one for RS232 / RS422 /
RS485), enhanced bi-directional parallel port, PCI enhanced IDE hard disk
drive interface, floppy disk controller and watchdog timer. The 486 All-in-One
board industrial-grade construction ensures continuous, reliable operation in
harsh industrial environments.
Its video section features the ability to control most EL, mono/color STN and
TFT flat panel display as well as standard VGA. Equipped with 1MB of EDO
DRAM, up to 2MB EDO DRAM (optional). The CHIPS 65550 can display in
640x480 resolution on commonly used flat panels and true color displays on
CRT’s.
You can also use this reliable 486 All-in-One to transform any system into a
32-bit 486 compatible computer. Its highly compact form and numerous
features make it an ideal cost/performance solution for high-end commercial
and industrial applications when fast CPU speed and low mean-time-to-
repair are critical.
