1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the AR-B9673 ISA Single Board Computer. The AR-B9673 board is PIC form factor board, which
comes equipped with high performance VIA ® Eden or C3 Processor with the VIA ® advanced chipset Apollo
PLE133T (VT8601T and VT82C686B). This product is designed for the system manufacturers, integrators, or VARs
that want to provide all the performance, reliability, and quality at a reasonable price.
In addition, the AR-B9673 provides on chip VGA. The VGA, which provides up to True Color (32 bit) 1024x768, or
High Color (16 bit) 1280x1024 resolution. The VGA memory shared with main memory.
AR-B9673 have one network controller on board, uses Realtek RTL8100B LAN controller, a fully integrated
10/100BASE-TX solution with high performance networking functions and Alert-on-LAN features.
