The SB-ATX-686
is a small single board computer with industry standard
Mini-ATX form factor. It is implemented by a combination of
the CM-i686
module and the SB-ATX board.
Based on National
Semiconductor's Geode architecture, the SB-ATX-686 board
delivers a price / feature ratio better than any traditional
X86-based alternative. The SB-ATX-686 is especially
attractive for applications requiring a combination of low
price and low power consumption with features such as USB,
Ethernet and LCD Panel interfaces.
The SB-ATX-686 has industry
standard Mini-ATX form factor, providing an attractive
alternative to many other ATX cards available in the market.
Within CompuLab's product line, the SB-ATX is also
compatible with the CM-X255 and CM-i886 boards, enabling the
flexibility required in a dynamic market where application
requirements can change rapidly.

Resources page.

SB-ATX-686 Features
The "BASE Option" column
specifies the P/N code of SB-ATX required to have the particular
feature. The "CORE Option" column specifies the P/N
code of CM-i686 required to have the particular feature. SB-ATX-686
content is the combination of features provided by the attached
CM-i686 and features implemented on the SB-ATX itself. To have a
particular feature, both CORE and BASE options of that feature must
be implemented.
"+" means that the feature
is always available, regardless of P/N code.
