Kontron / ICS Advent SBC-SCPIII-VE-04 Single Board Computer

The Kontron/ICS Advent SBC-SCPIII-VE-04 (Endeavor Plus VE) is a legacy single board computer engineered for industrial ISA-based systems. Built around the Intel 810E chipset, it accommodates Intel Pentium III FC-370 (500–850 MHz) or Celeron (333–533 MHz) processors via Socket 370, delivering deterministic processing with selectable CPU core/bus clock ratios from x2 to x8 across 66/100 MHz front side bus options. The board integrates graphics, optional dual Ethernet and SCSI controllers, and supports up to 1 GB SDRAM across two 168-pin DIMM sockets.
