Eurotech has released two PC/104-Plus SBCs with 800MHz Pentium III processors. The CPU-1462 features four USB 2.0 ports, while the CPU-1464 boasts gigabit Ethernet. Both use “unique construction techniques” facilitating structural heat dissipation into the enclosure, and are suitable for extended-temperature and… vehicular use, Eurotech says.

Both SBCs (single-board computers) boast 800MHz Intel Pentium III processors with 512KB L2 caches and 133MHz buses. Both are based on Intel's 815E chipset, and include 256MB of soldered-on SDRAM.

Eurotech says that with proper structural heat dissipation techniques, the boards are suitable for standard or extended temperature range operation, as well as vehicle installations requiring resistance to temperature extremes, shocks, and vibration. Additionally, full compatibility with the x86 hardware architecture guarantees compatibility with Linux and other standard OSes, the company says.

The CPU-1462 model features four high-speed USB 2.0 ports suitable for mass storage devices, cameras, and other high-performance peripherals. It targets mobile real-time computation-intensive video and multimedia processing, and high-speed industrial data acquisition and control.

The CPU-1464, meanwhile, boasts a Gigabit Ethernet interface, and targets networking and communication systems.

Both boards offer a variety of standard PC I/O, including four USB1.1 ports suitable for keyboards, mice, and serial port expansion.
