New Line of PC/104-Expandable Flat Panel Computers

April 17, 1995 -- Greer, SC . . . Computer Dynamics introduces the
"DisplayPac-104," an extensive new line of flat panel computers based upon
their PC/104-expandable GUI processing engine, and incorporating a variety
of color and monochrome displays plus touchscreens. This is the thinnest
display plus computer plus I/O expansion platform available. A
DisplayPac-104 system complete with color TFT LCD, 486 computer,
touchscreen and one PC/104 expansion module is only 2.5 inches thick.
DisplayPac-104 configurations can also include a rear-mounted hard disk
drive, floppy drive, and power supply. In addition, the small computer
size, display and rugged metalwork design allow for the most mechanically
rigid system available. A DisplayPac-104 is thus an ideal operator
interface for high-vibration environments where space is at a premium.

A wide variety of flat panel displays are offered in the DisplayPac-104
line: 14", 10.4" and 8.4" VGA color TFT LCDs with up to 256,000 colors;
11.8" XGA color TFT LCDs; dual-scan passive color LCDs; active matrix
monochrome LCDs; electroluminescent displays; and monochrome LCDs. In
addition to their small size, flat panels offer other advantages to system
designers: they are impervious to EMI; they offer significantly lower
power consumption and heat dissipation, longer MTBF, no flicker or bum-in,
and excellent viewing angles.

The DisplayPac-104's processor choices include a 100 MHz 486DX4, 66 MHz
486DX2, and 50 MHz 486SX2. This combination of processor speed, local bus
video, and the local bus IDE hard drive interface creates the fastest GUI
engine on the market today. The bottlenecks which can slow down
graphics-intensive applications are effectively eliminated. Other on-board
features include up to 16M DRAM, keyboard/speaker interface, watch-dog
timer and a real-time clock.

PC/104 expansion gives the designer a broad choice of expansion options,
including analog and digital I/O, semiconductor disk, networks, and many
more. With Computer Dynamics' selection of PC/104 modules, the designer
can order an entire system from one source, assembled and tested as a
unit.

Depending upon the flat panel display selected, you have a choice of
resistive or infrared touchscreens, with or without NEMA 4/12 bezels. We
also offer advanced touchscreen implementation software tools to get your
system up and running in minimal time.

The DisplayPac-104 is priced at $3782 (50-pc.) for the 50 MHz color system
with four megabytes of DRAM and including touchscreen. For more
