1.1 INTRODUCTION
The AR-B1579 makes 300MHz, industrial computing a reality. Developed for small size and high speeding
systems, this half-size ISA card is excellent for embedded applications due to its standalone.
Great speeds are attained through the PCI-driven IDE controllers. By providing a PCI interface to these two
controllers, the AR-B1579 offers an exciting option for engineers involved in high performance projects. Also, one
BIOS is available to interface peripherals quickly and easily. The system comes with 4MB V-RAM onboard, 512KB
synchronous pipe-line burst SRAM, one RS-232C and one RS-232C/RS-485 serial port, and two 72-pin SIMM
connectors which can support up to 128MB of DRAM.
The AR-B1579 is perfect for medical and telecommunications applications, factory floor networks, use as a MMIs
for high speeding processes, or a controller for graphics intensive systems.
