Let the PCN-6351 Be Your PCI-ISA Solution

PCN-6351Due to the great reaction and numerous inquiries generated from our last issue's article on the PCN-6351 NLX Half-size Pentium® MMX-based CPU card (with Ethernet, VGA/LCD and SSD sockets on board), we have decided to try to provide you all with some more updated information.

Advantech's True PCI-ISA Solution

For half-size CPU cards, Advantech employs NLX form factor cards, on which ISA and PCI-buses are both supported and physically separated. This reduces signal interference more than PISA (another PCI-ISA solution). NLX is also an alliance standard supported by Intel and IBM. Furthermore, supporting both PCI and ISA is better than a PCI-only solution because this ISA-to-PCI transition phase will last several years. NLX form factor boards can also preserve your previous ISA investments and provide one with the upward growth potential made possible with a PCI bus.

Availability

Because of the strong interest in this new half-size card, Advantech will begin to provide pricing information by the end of January. By February, sample orders will be made available for evaluation purposes. For more detailed information on the specifications and peripheral options of this card, please refer to last issue's article, or Advantech's newly redesigned EPC website (www.advantech.com/epc). If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact an Advantech representative today, while supplies last!

All Intel Half-size Pentium® MMX Card Eases Supply Worries

Advantech's new PCA-6751 is a half-size Pentium® MMX CPU card with VGA/LCD, Ethernet and SSD. It is Advantech's first board with a Pentium® MMX CPU mounted directly on the board. It also features an all-Intel chipset combination-the supply, of which, Intel has guaranteed for several years. Besides this, Intel also stands for high quality, reliability and compatibility.

What's On Board?

PCA-6751This new card is definitely feature packed. A low power consumption Intel embedded solution Pentium® MMX CPU is mounted directly on board, with a frequency choice of either 166 MHz or 266 MHz. Mounting CPUs directly on-board eases the configuration and installation process because their is no need to set any jumpers. Also on board is an all-Intel set of support chips. These include an Intel 430TX chipset, an Intel 100Base-T Ethernet chip, and a C&T(also Intel Group) VGA/LCD chip with 2 MB video RAM on chip (C&T 69000). This all-Intel embedded solution is important because Intel guarantees the supply of its embedded chips for several years (typically 5 to 7 years). This means that customers need not worry that this product will be suddenly phased out due to lack of supply. In addition, this chip combination, as well as the entire card itself, have been specially designed for embedded use, which means low power consumption. Lastly, this card supports an SSD socket for CompactFlash Disks ranging from 2-40 MB.

Availability

Pricing information and sample orders should be available by the first quarter of 1999. Call Advantech for more updated information.
