Introduction    

 

The ROBO-667 all-in-one single board computer is designed to fit a high 
performance Pentium-III based CPU and compatible for high-end computer 
system with PCI/ISA 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 dual Intel Pentium-III (FC-PGA & FC-
PGA2) processors, and supports DIMM up to 1.5 GB 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 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-667. 

The PICMG standard makes the ROBO-667 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.  Two standard 5-1/4” drive power connectors are 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
