New Long-Life Industrial Motherboard Provides Six ISA Expansion Slots and Features Pentium III Processors
EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ, Feburary 29 - - The new ITOX3 motherboard from ITOX, Inc. supports a large number of ISA expansion slots and offers the advanced processing power of the latest long-life Pentium III processors in the FC-PGA package. It also can use the economical Socket 370 Intel Celeron processors. (Both processors are on Intel's embedded long life products list.) This motherboard brings the latest processor technology to industrial applications that utilize the ISA interface.
With a long and stable product life cycle, the revision-controlled ITOX3 is ideal for computer telephony, industrial control, medical instrumentation and other applications requiring extensive system testing or certification. Further, it helps reduce long-term costs for system testing, certification and maintenance.
The ITOX3 features the Intel 440BX Chipset and the Intel CHIPS 69000 HiQ Video video controller on an industry standard ATX format motherboard. It also can accept up to six full-length ISA cards and a total of seven cards. The on-board graphics accelerator eliminates the need to dedicate an expansion slot to the video function. Bent-over connectors and tall components are placed off to the side to enable easy installation of long cards.
The board's industrial design also features oversize heat sinks, heavy-duty tantalum capacitors, a watchdog timer, and on-board monitoring of the temperature and power supply voltages. In addition, a DiskOnChip socket is available for applications without hard drives.
