Ibase is shipping a PCI-104 format single-board computer (SBC) aimed at a variety of rugged, compact embedded designs. The IB805 is equipped with an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz with an Intel 945GSE Express Chipset, offers multiple I/O, and supports 18-bit LVDS displays, says the company.

The IB805 is suited for a wide range of compact Internet devices and applications in transportation, automation, and industrial control, says Ibase. The SBC's PCI-104 format, measuring 3.8 x 3.6 inches, is essentially the same as PC/104, except that it doesn't include the latter's ISA bus connector.

The SBC offers the ubiquitous Intel Atom N270, paired with the usual Intel 945GSE Express Chipset with ICH7M and Intel GMA 950 graphics. A DDR2 SO-DIMM socket is said to accept up to 1GB of memory.
