BB1 PC/104 FLAT PANEL PC
The FLAT PANEL PC (FPPC) BB1 is a industrial PC base for front panel mounting. The BB1 provides a powerful platform to build low cost, high performance, real- time solutions. Together with a PC/104 CPU/SBC it is fully functional for industrial applications and will run without disks and keyboard. It is well suited for industrial applications such as, automated industrial equipment, medical instrumentation, transportation, manufacturing, communication, test and measurement on the factory floor.

The front of the BB1 FLAT PANEL PC is a monochrome VGA LCD with 320 * 240 dots in graphic mode and 15 lines * 40 charīs in standard text mode. This VGA LCD offers a back side mounted BB1 Base Board with onboard VGA controller, VGA BIOS, 256 Kbyte VRAM, LCD power supply, keyboard scanner for 8 * 8 = 64 keys front panel matrix keyboards and for a external keyboard, and one 8- or 16- bit, non- stackthrough PC/104 interface with connector.

The FLAT PANEL PC BB1 is designed to be, together with a PC/104 CPU or SBC architecturally compatible with the IBM standard PC/XT (with PC/XT PC/104 CPU) or PC/AT (with PC/AT PC/104 CPU) architecture. As such, it will run either Microsoft MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows (see also BB1 WINDOWS PROGRAMMING). The BB1 will also support other operating systems and real time executives that require the standard PC hardware environment.

The BB1 Base Board VGA controller is fully compatible with the VGA graphics standard at the register, gate and BIOS levels. The VGA controller provides full backwards compatibility with the EGA, CGA, MDA and Hercules graphics standards. Mode initialization is supported at the BIOS and register levels, ensuring compatibility with application software. The VGA controller and other BB1 Base Board logic properly sequences the power with respect to the control and data signals to prevent damage to the VGA LCD.
