City Of Industry, CA (Nov 10, 2002)

Broadax Systems, Inc. (BSI) introduces the SBC-9782, a single board computer (SBC) that brings Intel Pentium® 4 processing power to embedded computer applications. The new SBC-9782 also has graphics features equal to some of the best desktop systems, plus the hardware for dual high-speed LANs. A PCI -to- ISA bridge has been included so that existing application systems can be upgraded with the new processing power and graphics.

The new all-in-one computer board is designed for compute- and graphics-intensive applications such as medical scanner displays, industrial workstations, and displays featuring high-resolution animated video images. The SBC-9782 provides a Socket-478 base for Pentium processors up to 2.0GHz, and supports it with an Intel 845S chipset, two DIMM sockets for up to 2GB of SDRAM, an on-board Type II connector for Compact Flash or IBM Micro Drive, a 32MB 4X graphics processor, a built-in 256-bit 3D engine with up to 3K x 2K resolution, and an on-board MPEG 2/1 video decoder for VCD, DVD, and HDTV.

The SBC has an ATX power connector for standalone system applications, and its dual 10/100BT Mb Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN connectors make it appropriate for situations like complex process control and emergency shut-down systems where multi-level local and remote access are necessary.

The full-size board also houses a PCI-ISA bridge for connecting to older existing hardware, plus an audio codec and connectors for the speaker, a VGA display, a parallel port, a PS/2 port, and two serial ports.

Price And Availability

Delivery is from stock for a bare board and up to 2 weeks ARO for boards with CPU and memory. Prices begin at [$385] for a base system in OEM quantities.
