The Kontron/ICS Advent SB586PV is an industrialized single board computer engineered for Intel Pentium processor deployment in demanding industrial environments. It integrates onboard storage controllers, video, and serial/parallel interfaces directly on the board, eliminating the need for multiple expansion cards in passive backplane systems. The Neptune II chipset supports processor speeds from 75 MHz to 200 MHz with up to 192 MB of RAM and configurable cache options.
