Overview 

The ROBO-603 is a compact 5.25” CD-ROM size Single Board Computer that equips with VIA 

Apollo Pro 133A AGPset, SMI AGP 2X Lynx3DM 2D/3D Graphics and Multimedia Accelerator 

w/ Embedded 4MB SGRAM, Dual LCD interfaces, NTSC/PAL TV output, AC97 Audio, and dual 

PCI-bus Ethernet interfaces.   

Targeting on the rapid growing networking and multimedia embedded markets, the ROBO-603 

comes designed with dual PCI-bus Intel 82559ER 10/100Base-Tx chips and dual LCD interfaces. 

This make it a perfect solution for not only popular Networking Devices like Firewall, Gateway, 

Router, Thin Server, and E-Box but also Retail / Financial Transaction Terminals, and high-end 

multimedia POS / KIOSK Terminals. 

In addition, the on board 24-bit Panel Link interface, Zoom Video port, and NTSC/PAL TV output 

interface make the ROBO-603 also ideal for demanding high-end Entertainment Devices that 

require high integration multimedia Single Board Computer. 

Other impressive features include PC133 FSB, Ultra DMA66 IDE, a Compact Flash socket for type 

I/II Compact Flash storage card, four serial ports, one parallel port, one 168-pin DIMM socket 

allowing for up to 256MB of SDRAM to be installed, and a PCI slot for future expansion.
