Introduction
The PCM-5896 is an all-in-one multi-media Super7 (Pentium)
processor based single board computer (SBC) with a 32-bit PCI
audio controller, a PCI Flat Panel controller, a PCI 100Base-Tx
Ethernet interface, and one PCI expansion slot. With 100MHz
system bus, the PCM-5896 achieves outstanding performance that
surpasses any other SBC in its class. In addition, the onboard SSD
interface supports M-systems DiskOnChip 2000 series, memory
capacity from 2 MB to 144 MB. This compact (only 5.75"" x 8")
unit offers all the functions of a single board industrial computer,
but still fits in the space of a CD-ROM drive.
On-board features include four serial ports (three RS-232, one RS-
232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, connec-
tor for two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, a floppy drive
controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high
speed PCI IDE controller supports Ultra DMA/33 mode. Up to two
IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-
ROM drives, and tape backup drives, etc.
The PCM-5896 also features power management to minimize power
consumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and supports
three types of power saving features: Doze mode, Standby mode,
and Suspend mode. In addition, the board's watchdog timer can
automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt in case the
system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
Highly integrated multi-media SBC
The PCM-5896 is a highly integrated multi-media SBC that com-
bines audio, video, and network functions on a CD-ROM drive size
single computer board. It provides 32-bit half-duplex, 16-bit full-
duplex, PCI 3D audio and up to 1024 x 768 resolution @ 64K colors
with on-chip 2MB SDRAM display memory. Major onboard
devices adopt PCI technology to achieve outstanding computing
performance.
