SBS Technologies, Inc., Embedded Computers (formerly SBS Embedded Computers) introduces the VP7, a VMEbus CPU board in a 6U form factor. Based on the Intel© Pentium© II processor and their 440BX chipset, the board is capable of running processors up to 450 MHz and supports the new 100 MHz SDRAMs with optional ECC technology. A PMC slot makes it possible to use standard off-the-shelf PMC modules.
"The All-In-One design concept allows our customers to configure and order the VP7 with a range of speed, memory and on-board peripherals," said Clarence Peckham, President of SBS Technologies, Inc., Embedded Computers.
Price and Availability
The VP7 is priced starting at $3,500 and will be available by early second quarter.
Additional Features
On-board peripheral options include: a 64-bit VGA/LCD graphic controller (1600x1200), a Flash drive (up to 240MB), a Fast-Ethernet with integrated 12KB FIFO, two serial Channels (COM3,4), a SCSI interface (up to 40MB/s), and one parallel port (LPT2)
The VME64 interface is designed around the industry standard CA91C142 Universe-2 PCI to VMEbus controller with up to 70MB/S transfer rate, FIFOs for write posting, DMA controller with linked list support and master/slaves transfer modes.
With 512 Kbyte of L2 cache and a 64-bit main memory ranging from 32 to 512Mbyte of SDRAM, the VP7 is a well-balanced system for a variety of applications. The board includes two USB-, two RS232/422/485-, one floppy-, one keyboard-, a PS/2-mouse interface and an enhanced parallel port (LPT1). Additionally, the board includes a real-time clock, a watchdog, and a programmable NMI timer (0.25 to 16msec) for hard real-time. Besides operating systems like Windows© NT / 98, MS-DOS© and Solaris, the manufacturer supports real-time operating systems such as QNX© and VxWorks©.
