• Packing List

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The AR-B1375 and AR-B1376 are new generation half size, 386 ISA card. This card offers much greater performance
than the older cards such as support for 32MB’s of DRAM using two 72-pin SIMMs, one RS-232C/485 and one RS-232C
port and 3/1.5MB solid state disk capacity for ROM, FLASH and SRAM.
The unit also comes with a programmable watchdog timer and other typical interfaces. These 386 CPU cards are excellent
for embedded systems, MMI’s, workstations, medical applications or POS/POI systems. As well, an RS-232C/485 port
provided remote control. RS-485 has not been offered until recently on 386 cards.
Especially the AR-B1376 with on board VGA, offers the most exciting possibilities yet to the industry. The on board
VGA/LCD controller brings about a whole new dimension of industrial computing. No longer do you have to worry about
adding an extra card to your system. Negating the need of a separate VGA card saves space. The VGA/LCD unit comes
with 1MB of V-RAM on board and uses the C&T 65545 Chipset, to support a wide range of LCD Panels.
