Cell Computing Introduces New
Single-board Computer Based Upon 333
MHz Pentium(R) II Micro-Motherboard
PCI SlotCard features mobile Pentium II CPU,
IBM 340 MB microdrive socket, and PCI
expansion
PC Developers' Conference & Expo, Santa
Clara, Calif., May 25, 1999 -- Cell Computing,
Inc., manufacturer of the CardPC(TM) -- industry's
smallest Pentium processor motherboard, today
announced the PCI SlotCard, a new single-board
computer for network appliances, small Web servers,
imaging systems, and other throughput-intensive
embedded applications. Based upon Cell's 3 x 5-inch
Plug-n-Run Pentium micro-motherboard, the SlotCard
features a small board size with 3 full-size PCI slots.
Henri Uehara, Cell Computing president, said, "Our
new SlotCard is designed to assist the developer who
needs a small, semi-custom PC design -- immediately.
SlotCard can be used to build small, high-performance
prototypes to help get a new product funded and into
production in weeks instead of months."
PCI SlotCard Features
The PCI SlotCard is a compact single-board system that
supports Cell Computing Plug-n-Run
micro-motherboards with 333 MHz Intel Pentium II
(Dixon) or 233 MHz Pentium CPUs. The complete
system consists of a CPU, Intel chipset, 256-bit
NeoMagic multimedia accelerator with 2.5 MB
embedded VRAM, (128-bit accelerator on Pentium
systems), SMC Super I/O, a socket for the M-Systems
DiskOnChip(R) flash disk, two 12 Mbit/sec USB ports,
two serial port headers, one parallel port header, IDE,
FDD, and PS/2 mouse/keyboard headers, up to 256
MBytes of SDRAM, industry-standard PhoenixPICO
BIOS, interfaces for LVDS and LCD panels, CRT
connector, and three full PCI slots for easy expansion.
The entire PCI SlotCard system measures just 4.5 x 7
inches (114.3 x 177.8 mm), and requires a single 5V
ATX power supply.
Typical applications for PCI SlotCard-based SBCs
include network-based equipment control, embedded
Web servers, and other small form factor embedded
systems requiring full compatibility with popular
desktop and real-time operating systems. By utilizing
the M-Systems DiskOnChip, PCI SlotCard is ready to
implement in applications requiring up to 144 MBytes
of high-performance solid-state mass storage.
Applications with extreme form factor constraints can
also take advantage of the SlotCard's CF+ Type II
socket, which supports the 340 MB IBM microdrive.
Pricing and Availability
Sample PCI SlotCards are available immediately, while
volume shipments will begin in the third quarter.
Sample pricing for the SlotCard carrier board is $349.
233 or 333 MHz Pentium and Pentium II Plug-N-Run
micro-motherboards must be ordered separately.
Contact the factory for volume pricing.
