The AP-370VF is a full-size Intel Celeron
PPGA PCI/ISA single board computer that
uses the Intel 440 BX chipset, and supports Ultra DMA-33 for faster hard drive
transmission speeds and contains health monitoring hardware. The health monitoring
hardware detects and releases an audio alarm if any abnormal function of the operating
voltage & temperature of CPU or it's cooling fan.
For boosting operation, this
motivated card also supports sockets for a Flash Disk, and three DIMMs.
Take note that the AP-370VF is a high power & full engine SBC with an AGP display of
resolution up to 1600x1200 at 256 colors. It is a board that after many feature for a
reasonable cost, without the hassle of going through the extra effort and cost of
additional I/O cards.
The AP-370VF is built as a PCI/ISA expansion card that is simply upgraded by
changing one card from another without replacing the whole system. It provides the
primary elements for building an IBM PC/AT compatible computer for a wide variety of
applications with system integration. The AP-370VF is fully compatible with the IBM
PC/AT which means virtually all the software written for the IBM PC/AT will run on the
AP-370VF SBC.
Other on-board features include two serial ports (RS-232 and RS-232/422/485), one
multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, a floppy drive controller, a keyboard interface
and a PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both
PIO and bus master modes. Up to four IDE devices can be connected, including large
hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE devices. Its 6-layer
printed circuit board combined with noise-tolerant and low power consumption CMOS
technology allows the AP-370VF to withstand many harsh industrial environments.
