OT - All in one board computers

Posts: 46,084
Thank you all for setting me straight. I now realize that $59 is a good
price for that board. I just thought that being based on 486 architecture
that it was obsolete and I would be able to get it cheaper. After looking
around I found this to be untrue [noparse]:)[/noparse]
For those who asked me for the store that had them I will post that
information to the Stamp list after I have a chance to run down and buy one
so I can get one to play with. [noparse];)[/noparse]
I found out that this particular one is made by Advantech and they make a
Pentium based one for $399 with sound, ethernet and everything.

They are called PC104, for the form factor. Lots of outfits deal in
them. Do a web search and get lucky. You can also go to
http://www.pc104.com/ for lots more info. You name it and you can probably
get it in PC 104. Never had one but they look very appealing. Prices,
however, all over the park and heavily dependant on what you want.

Anyone know of a good, cheap (surplus OK) source for those little all in
one
boards? I have only seen them with 486 support, but Pentium would be nice
[noparse]:)[/noparse] I saw some at our local surplus store but it was $59 which was exactly
what I wanted but a bit more than I wanted to spend, although if I must, I
must. The specs included:
up to 486DX120 support
10BaseT connector
VGA w/ 512KB RAM
IDE Interface (came with a cable to adapt the 2.5" connector to a standard
IDE drive)
floppy connector
2 Serial (I think it had one parallel, not sure, parallel not needed for my
app)
PS/2 keyboard & mouse ports
I don't remember its RAM config, but I'm fairly sure it took 72-pin SIMMs,
although I have some old 30 pin SIMMs around, too, so if those are OK
