San Diego, CA — (press release excerpt) — Team ASA Inc. today announced a major upgrade to its NPWR Linux engine. NPWR, the first single board computer (SBC) designed specifically for manufacturers and OEMs in the Network Attached Storage (NAS), RAID, and Personal Server marketplaces, is now available with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. Typical applications for the NPWR SBC are expected to include NAS, mail servers, firewalls, routers, and web servers.

The NPWR is powered by the Intel XScale processor, the RISC CPU with clock rates reaching as high as 733 MHz. NPWR's standard configuration includes a 160MB/sec (LVD) SCSI port, 8MB of FLASH ROM, 128MB of SDRAM and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Optional models of NPWR can be configured with Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Every NPWR includes Team ASA's Linux port on CDROM. The NPWR CDROM also includes all tools, documentation, and sources needed to make any NPWR based product an immediate success. NPWR is factory configured with a Flash ROM disk running Linux to ensure expedited product development.

Team ASA will begin shipping Dual Gigabit Ethernet versions of the NPWR on November 1, 2001. Suggested retail pricing for Dual Gigabit Ethernet at the following speeds is as follows, 400 MHz NPWR is $1,295; the 600 MHz NPWR is $1,395; the 733 MHz NPWR is $1,495.
