Certification
Attained for New Half-size Biscuit PCs
Advantech's new set of half-size
biscuit PCs, PCM-4823/L 486 SBC with VGA/LCD and Ethernet, and
PCM-4825/L 486 SBC with VGA/LCD and Audio, have now officially
attained both CE and FCC Class A certification for their Revision
A102 or later. These palm-size SBCs are ideal for highly compact
applications, especially those using either Ethernet (PCM-4823/L)
or audio (PCM-4825/L) features.
Phase-out
Notice for Older PC/104 Modules and Half-size Biscuit PCs
This is a notice that Advantech's
PCM-3920 (PC/104 Carrier Module), PCM-3920V (PC/104 Carrier Module
with VGA), PCM-4820 (486 SBC), PCM-4822 (486 SBC with VGA/LCD
Interface) and PCM-4824 (486 SBC with Ethernet Interface) are
being phased out. Last orders must be placed before July 31, 1998
(last shipments before Nov.30, 1998). Two of these half-size biscuit
boards, though, will be replaced with similar, yet more powerful
ones: the PCM-4823L 486 SBC with Ethernet (replaces the PCM-4824),
and PCM-4825L 486 SBC with VGA/LCD (replaces the PCM-4822). Instead
of these 'light' replacements, one can also choose to have extra
VGA/LCD (PCM-4823) or audio (PCM-4825).
Additional Benefits of Replacement
Boards
Besides having additional functions,
these four replacement boards have built-in PC/104 connectors
(the PCM-4822/24 boards needed an additional carrier module).
An extra parallel port and floppy drive port are also on board.
Lastly, an embedded CPU is also included on-board (AMD DX5-133).
Capacitors
Are Now Both Greener and Safer
All Advantech products have recently
replaced one type of capacitor. Now, multilayer capacitors have
replaced all tantalum capacitors (used previously). These new
capacitors are "greener" (safer for the environment)
and safer (older ones would burn on rare occasions). This further
demonstrates Advantech's commitment to both its customers and
the environment.
