    Small form factor system enables embedded applications with high-end
                              graphics and I/O

    BOSTON, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampro Computers, Inc., a leading
supplier of standards-based computer systems, single board computers
(SBCs), and computer-on-modules (COMs), introduced today at the Embedded
Systems Conference the new ReadySystem(TM) Fanless computer based on the
EPIC form factor ReadyBoard(TM) family of embedded SBCs. The new
ReadySystem Fanless is an ideal solution for harsh environments that are
dusty and dirty, or require high reliability or noise free operation.
ReadySystem Fanless computers complement Ampro's existing ReadySystem
industrial computers, offering support for Intel(R) processors up to 1.4
GHz, high performance graphics, and robust I/O including Gigabit Ethernet,
Serial ATA (SATA) storage in certain models, and USB 2.0.
    "With Ampro's new ReadySystem(TM) Fanless computer, we continue to
offer system products that meet our customers demanding requirements," said
Joanne Mumola Williams, president and CEO of Ampro. "Thanks to the
mechanical design and the quality of Ampro SBCs used, our ReadySystem
Fanless brings a level of reliability that allows our customers to deploy
systems and applications into a wide range of environments."
    ReadySystem Fanless features a choice of Ampro ReadyBoard SBC up to 1.4
GHz Pentium(R) M processor and all electronics in a compact housing, only
236 x 261 x 85mm (9.3"x10.2"x3.35"). It includes a robust set of I/O with a
VGA DB15 output, (2) USB2.0 ports, (2) RS-232 serial ports on DB9
connectors, audio (In, Out, and Mic.), PS/2 keyboard and mouse (shared),
and up to two Ethernet interfaces. Optional additional serial and USB ports
are available.
    ReadySystem Fanless allows the integration of up to (2) PCI-104 or
PC/104-Plus cards for extraordinary flexibility in tailoring the computing
solution to specific I/O requirements. The system allows room for a 2.5
inch hard drive. A Serial ATA (SATA) drive is supported when the ReadyBoard
820 is installed. The small dust and noise free system allows OEMs and
system integrators to build high performance automation, digital signage,
control, acquisition, and gaming applications with ReadySystem Fanless
computers.
    Ampro's ReadySystem Fanless computer products are offered with
Windows(R) XP, Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE, and Linux(R) 2.6 operating
systems to help customers, OEMs, and system integrators rapidly deploy
Ampro products into their small form factor application environments.
