Overview
The MiTAC 616-00WSB6XC00 R1M0 is an advanced Socket 370 PICMG full-sized single board computer designed for industrial embedded computing applications. This legacy-class CPU board integrates essential I/O, video, and networking capabilities in a compact form factor, making it suitable for robotics, machinery control, test equipment, and legacy system replacements where Pentium II/III performance is sufficient.
Key Features
- Socket 370 (FC-PGA) — Supports Intel Pentium III Coppermine and Celeron processors up to 1 GHz
- Integrated Graphics — Asiliant (C&T) 69000 on-board VGA with 2MB SDRAM, no AGP card required
- 10/100 Ethernet — Intel 82559-based PCI LAN for network connectivity
- Dual Serial Ports — RS-232/422/485 support for industrial device communication
- PC’98 BIOS — AMI BIOS with hardware monitoring (temperature, voltage, fan control)
- IDE & Floppy Support — Two IDE channels (up to four devices), FDD interface for legacy storage
