PC/104-PLUS MODULE

The EPM-NET-100 provides a dual-speed Ethernet interface (10BaseT/100BaseTX) and up to 144 MB of onboard flash for program and data storage, allowing PC/104-Plus users to be compatible with 10-Mbps Ethernet networks now, and run at 100 Mbps when their network is upgraded. The autosensing 10BaseT/100BaseTX interface automatically switches to match the hub speed.

The board uses the PCnet-FAST III Ethernet controller from AMD, which features a 32-bit PCI bus master interface and 12 KB of internal SRAM for communications buffering. An optional Ethernet boot-ROM site allows the system to automatically boot from a server at powerup, eliminating the need for a local disk drive or boot device.

The NET-100 also supports onboard flash storage with a 32-pin DiskOnChip site. It supports plug-in, bootable, nonvolatile storage of 4-144 MB using DiskOnChip2000 chips from M--Systems. Under most operating systems, the DiskOnChip site supports file-type read/write access, as well as system booting, from the totally nonvolatile solid-state storage.

The EPM-NET-100 features a wide range of driver support and is compatible with most desktop and real-time operating systems.

It sells for $204 in quantities of 100+.
