New SSD Solution for Embedded Systems Soon Available

Advantech's new CompactFlash Memory Card supports a True IDE Mode that is electrically compatible with an IDE disk drive. This means there are none of the driver problems common with some of the other SSD solutions. Advantech's CompactFlash Memory Cards provide up to 40 MB of formatted storage capacity, and with the PCMCIA Adapter, can be used in any system that has a PCMCIA Type II or Type III socket.There are several reasons why the POS-810 is expansion friendly. First, a PCI/ISA riser card is provided with the case. This riser card comes with two expansion slots, which can be used as either two PCI-type slots or as 1 PCI-type and 1 ISA-type slots.

Extra Features

The CompactFlash Memory Card Series uses SanDisk Flash memory chips which were designed by SanDisk specifically for use in mass storage applications. In addition to the mass storage-specific Flash memory chips, the CompactFlash Memory Cards include an on-card intelligent controller that provides a high level interface to the host computer to issue commands to the memory card to read or write blocks of memory. A block of memory consists of 512 bytes of data and is protected by a powerful Error Correcting Code (ECC).

A Range of Combinations

Advantech CompactFlash Memory Cards are offered in a variety of capacities up to 40 MB. The host system can support as many cards as there are CompactFlash and Type II or Type III PCMCIA card slots. CompactFlash Memory Cards require the PCMCIA Adapter to be used in a PCMCIA Type II or Type III socket.

Arriving Soon

Advantech's CompactFlash Cards and PCMCIA Adapters will be available by July 1998. These, in turn, can be used in conjunction with Advantech's currently available PCD-1200A and PCA-6351.
