Internal Alterations The internal mount for the board has been moved up slightly to make room for the SO DIMM and CompactFlash slots on the underside of the board. Space for one PC/104 expansion module exists within the chassis, while attachment hooks are located on the top of the chassis for one to mount a 2.5" HDD if so desired. There are hooks on the bottom of the MBPC-200 to attach a power supply. Two power supply options for this product are currently available: the PS-25D, which is a 25 W DC-DC power supply (see previous article), and the PS-50A, which is a 50 W AC-DC power supply. Order Today! Besides this powerful and compact complete solution, Advantech also offers a Windows® CE solution preloaded and configured for the PCM-5820 on a 10 MB CompactFlash card (sold only in combination with the board). Call Advantech, your complete embedded solution provider, today for more detailed information on this or other solutions.

Advantech's
popular and long-lasting 486-based POS control board, the POS-460,
has recently been revamped, from version A2 to version B1. Several
small but important changes have been made. One result is that
there is much better keyboard functionality at high temperatures.
Another design change was prompted by the phasing out of the DIP
package cache memory chip. To replace it, Advantech chose an SOJ
(surface mount) chip which features 128 KB or optional 512 KB
of cache memory. The third significant modification made was the
substitution of the C&T 65545 VGA/LCD controller chip with the
newer and more stable C&T 65550. This new chip supports even more
types of LCDs and higher resolutions (800 x 600). 
Advantech's
super-compact MBPC-200 MicroBox 3.5" Biscuit PC Chassis has been modified
to accommodate the new PCM-5820 palm-size Pentium® processor-based SBC
with audio, processor, VGA/LCD/LVDS and Fast Ethernet. The external
shape and dimensions have remained the same at 44 mm x 166 mm x 113
mm, but changes have been made internally to accommodate all of the
features and expansion possibilities of the PCM-5820.
