Two MiniITX A1's models are on the way, both G3. The first one is very similar to the "beta" versions that was sold earlier. The price for this one will be $600USD/500EUR, excluding VAT. The other version will also offer some more features such as Firewire, Gigabit Ethernet and an additional (custom?) PCI connector, and will cost $700USD/600EUR.

Two new µ-A1's models on the way : Comment 43 of 170 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bernie Meyer on 28-Aug-2004 18:15 GMT | In reply to Comment 26 (Don Cox): In a lot of those embedded or semi-embedded applications, onboard LVDS or TTL LCD interfaces are essential --- and I do not recall those being mentioned in the description.As an industrial customer, you are unlikely to be looking for a completely solid-state device, only to then hook it up to a vacuum tube made from glass.Small motherboards with integrated video, memory and flash-connectivity are great. The company I am working for has a number of PC/104 boards driving around in ticketmachines in busses, and a whole bunch of mini-ITX boards hanging around in tram information displays. In both applications, we wouldn't even consider anything that doesn't have (a) fully digital LCD interfaces, and (b) fully working and reliable linux support. Oh, and in the case of the information displays, (c) a fully working and well-documented hardware watchdog --- another thing which I missed in the I-model's feature list.Let's hope it's just the feature list on the website which is incomplete, rather than the boards really lacking those features --- because at *that* price, with no industry-strength OS support, trying to sell the boards will be hard enough even if the basics are there. It will be close to impossible if the boards are lacking essential features. |
