(For Immediate Release, March 26, 1987)
High-Performance Add-On Board for SB180 Announced
Frederick, MD, USA, March 26, 1987 - Electronic Technical
Services (ETS), in cooperation with North American One-Eighty
Group (NAOG) of Warminister, PA and XSystem Software of Stone
Mountain, GA, has announced the first after-market hardware and
software enhancement for the Micromint SB180 single board
computer. The ETS-180-IO+ is a full-function input/output board,
combining all the "must-have" features necessary to make the
SB180 a truly versatile computing engine for efficient software
development, personal computing, or real-time applications.
Designed to unlock all the potential of Steve Ciarcia's HD64180
design, the all-CMOS ETS-180-I0+ provides the SB180 user with a
wide range of new capabilities and performance enhancements:
* Two additional high-speed (115.2 kbps) serial ports with
CPU-independent baud rates and full hardware handshaking.
* Twenty-four bits of user-configurable parallel I/O.
* Special version of the XBIOS banked operating system with
setup and format utilities, full Z-System support, alternate
bank disk cache and optimized (2.5 to 5K larger) TPA memory.
* Complete SASI/SCSI interface, includes XBIOS support for all
popular SCSI-compatible hard disk controllers and drives.
* Battery-backed real-time clock, with DateStamper time and
date stamping of disk files fully integrated into XBIOS.
* Full buffering of the expansion bus for other add-on boards.
* Comprehensive interrupt support.
* All-CMOS chip complement for low-power operation.
The ETS-180-IO+ is available to individual users through NAOG.
Single-unit price is $349.95 complete with software, but a
special introductory offer makes it available for only $299.95.
This includes a one year membership in NAOG, the only user
support organization devoted to advanced 8-bit hardware and
software. Current NAOG members can purchase the ETS-180-IO+ for
$284.95. It carries a 180-day parts and labor limited warranty.
