The MB-09014 is based on a 600 MHz Intel Celeron microprocessor and is equipped with up to 1 GB of SODIMM-resident DDR RAM, a graphics port compatible with both CRTs and LCDs, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, and AC 97 Audio. Other on-board features include:

• An Award 512K flash BIOS
  
• Four USB 2.0 ports
  
• Dual RS232 serial ports
  
• Bidirectional parallel port
  
• IrDA-compatible infrared interface
  
• Keyboard/mouse interface
  

The module also provides voltage and temperature monitoring, a watchdog timer with software-selectable timeout interval, and an expansion interface (on its under-side) for ISA and PCI bus devices. It has a 0 to 60 degree C operating temperature range and draws a maximum of 6A from a 5V power supply.

ETX modules plug into custom baseboards that contain additional system functions and I/O connectors required by the specific application. The ETX specification defines a set of connectors, located on the bottom of the modules, that implement various system and peripheral interface signals.

The MB-09014 is available now, priced at $276 in single-unit quantities, according to the company.
