The Intel® Pentium® M And Celeron M Processors Are Now Available In A Long-Life Baby-AT Form Factor With ISA Device Support

MORGAN HILL, California (04/05/04) ---- American Predator Corporation (APC) today announced the specifications of the Gator AT™ Industrial Controller. This new design is based on the Baby-AT form factor (8.6"x11.0"), the Intel® Pentium® M and Celeron M processors, the Intel® 855GME chipset and Intel® ICH-4 I/O Controller Hub.

The Gator AT features the Intel 855GME chipset, running a 400MHz Front Side Bus and featuring up to 2 GB of dual DDR 400 SDRAM, Serial ATA, USB2.0 and dual ethernet (gigabit ethernet options). Standard features include: four (4) PCI slots, four (4) ISA slots, RS232 serial port options available: two (2) or six (6) ports (one configurable to RS422/485), AC'97 sound, POST display diagnostics, and watchdog timer.

The Gator AT continues American Predator´s commitment to providing simple, long-term, upgrade solutions. The board features a similar fit, form, and function as our Pentium® III/Raptor AT and 486/Predator747 designs. This offers customers a straightforward, hassle-free upgrade, and an extended, five to eight year product life cycle.
