IIntroduction
The ROBO-679 all-in-one single board computer is designed to fit a high
performance Celeron/Pentium-III based CPU and compatible for high-end
computer system with PCI Local Bus architecture. It is made to meet
today’s demanding pace, and keep complete compatibility with hardware
and software designed for the IBM PC/AT. It is beneficial to build up a
high performance system for VARs, or system integrators. The on-board 3D
Graphics display, and fast Ethernet interface will bring full functionality and
high performance to all segments of the industrial PC market.
This single board computer runs with Intel Celeron/Pentium-III (FC-PGA &
FC-PGA2) processor, and supports DIMM up to 512 MB SDRAM. The
enhanced on-board PCI IDE interface can support 4 drives up to PIO mode 4
timing and Ultra DMA/33/66/100 synchronous mode feature. The on-
board Super I/O Chipset integrates one floppy controller, two serial ports,
one keyboard controller, one hardware monitor, one IrDA port and one
parallel port. Two high performance 16C550-compatible UARTs provide
16-byte transmit/receive FIFOs, and the multi-mode parallel port supports
SPP/EPP/ECP function. Besides, three USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports
provide high-speed data communication between peripherals and PC. PCI
type daughter board can also be compatible to ROBO-679.
The PICMG standard makes the ROBO-679 work with the legacy ISA,
ISA/PCI or multi-slots PCI-bus backplane. The on-board 32-pin DIP socket
supports M-systems DiskOnChip 2000 product up to 288MB. The Watch-
Dog Timer function can be used to monitor your system status. One 6-pin
Mini-DIN connector (with Y-Cable) is provided to connect PS/2 Mouse and
Keyboard. The on-board Flash ROM is used to make the BIOS update
easier. A standard 5-1/4” drive power connector is reserved to directly get
more power energy for big power applications, and the additional 5-pin
shrouded connector is reserved for connecting Keyboard interface on the
backplane. One 4-pin header is designed to support ATX power function.
All of these features make ROBO-679 excellent in stand-alone applications.
