July 13, 1992 -- Greer. SC . . . Computer Dynamics announces the introduction of the SBC-486. a compact, 100% PC-compatible single board computer which offers 486-class performance. flash memory capability. and an advanced video controller. The board's 25 MHz Cx486SLC processor executes the 486SX instruction set and all operating systems designed for it. including DOS and Windows. The processor incorporates an on-chip one kbyte cache. which helps it perform more than twice as fast as a 386SX at the same clock frequency. This high-performance computing is required by processor and graphics intensive applications. In addition to the full complement of standard PC functions. the SBC-486 provides up to 768k of flash ROM. Flash memory gives you the ability to erase and reprogram without removing the device from the board. making program changes for embedded applications very simple. Alternatively. the SBC-486 has up to 1.5M of on-board ROM/RAM disk for fixed program storage. This semiconductor disk ensures quick boot up and reliable operation in the most demanding environments. The board also includes up to 16M of DRAM. The SBC-486's on-board video controller directly drives CRTs and flat panel displays. It will drive 256 simultaneous colors on active matrix TFT or passive matrix color LCDs. It can also drive both 640x480 and 640x400 El displays. and provides 16 distinct gray levels on monochrome LCDs. Other board features include its small size (5.75" x 7.75"). low 7W power consumption, hard and floppy disk controllers, a battery-backed real-time clock, and SBX interface, and a math co-processor socket. The SBC-486's software support makes it especially easy to use in embedded applications. Computer Dynamics proprietary ROMing software easily takes your application code from your DOS development environment to semiconductor disk, allowing you to eliminate disk drives. The SBC-486 is priced from $936 in OEM quantities. Delivery is stock to 30 days. For more information contact Computer Dynamics, 107 S. Main St., Greer, SC 29650.
