The Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) Boston is from September 21-24, 2009. This year, Logic Supply has a booth at the exposition hall, and is featuring all our exciting, new products. We also are showcasing our new Compatibility System, which can be viewed here: http://compare.logicsupply.com, a customer’s application that is currently being deployed in Boston taxi cabs, and our waterproof computer—in a fish tank.
The picture below shows what our booth looked like.

U.S. Debut: Fujitsu Mini-ITX

Fujitsu D2703-S
In the past, our customers never quite took to Mini-ITX boards designed around the AMD mobile processor platform. We carried a few AMD-based mainboards with some Geode and Mobile Turion 64 X2 options, but the demand for them was slim. When a supplier would introduce a new platform that used an AMD mobile processor, we would give the board/system due consideration. But when we compared this board/system to a similarly priced Intel Core 2 Duo option with comparable features, it just didn’t make sense to bring it in. And, our customers didn’t seem to mind.
And, the focus here is on mobile processors, not desktop ones.

First Fanless Enclosure Designed for the Johnstown Board

The Morex T-1610 case is slim. It measures 178 x 38 x 178 millimeters (7″ x 1.5″ x 7″)—just 1.2 liters—and is designed to house the Intel D945GSEJT “Johnstown” Mini-ITX motherboard. The case is stretched so tautly around this low-profile board that it barely extends beyond the board’s edges and is 0.25” shorter than a standard Mini-ITX I/O shield. It’s fanless, solid aluminum (don’t be fooled by the pictures, it’s not plastic!), and minimalist, taking full advantage of the Johnstown board’s low profile, onboard power, and low TDP. However, this is not a compromised solution; the case can still accommodate a 2.5” notebook HDD and wireless networking via a Mini PCIe card.

New ION Boards Have Arrived

We are offering three new NVIDIA ION-based Mini-ITX mainboards at Logic Supply. Two are from ZOTAC and one is a Pegatron offering. Each is geared toward multimedia applications, offering HDMI, DVI, VGA, and digital audio. Although the back panel I/O is beefed up, the onboard I/O is pretty slender with just the bare minimum connectors to get by. Neither of them have IDE (no real surprise), but instead offer 3–4 SATA connectors. The ZOTAC features RAID 0, 1, and 0+1, while the Pegatron version has it disabled. We’re still trying to figure that one out… and the Pegatron version also features RAID 0, 1, and 0+1 with an updated BIOS (version 09.03).
Our ZOTAC ION selection is: ZOTAC ION B-E Mini-ITX Mainboard, IONITX-B-E featuring the Intel Atom 230 processor and the ZOTAC ION A-U Mini-ITX Mainboard, IONITX-A-U featuring the dual core Intel Atom 330 processor, onboard power, and pre-installed PCIe Mini wireless card with antenna. These boards are practically identical, with the exception of the onboard power, processor, and wireless card. And, of course the price.
