Watchdog, RTC, EEPROM for setup backup and 1MB SSD with built-in “ROM_DOS” and software utilities are also included. Up to seven peripheral functions can be added through the CompactPCI bus connector. Using a standard BIOS, the ETH-0996 can run any operating system available for PCs such as Microsoft Windows 3.11, 95 and NT; OS/2; UNIX; QNX; PSOS; and Pharlap. The ETH-0996 is said to be ideally suited for use in real-time data acquisitiion and control, industrial automation, and high speed data communication.
