Ampro Computers Little Board LB286 single board computer.

Description

Ampro Computers Little Board LB286. Condition is "Used". This is a vintage single board computer system. It comes with the eeproms for programming routines. I can not confirm or deny if this little board computer works. It is used and was taken out of service in 1999.  I do not know how to test it. Quantity of ram is unknown.
Some notes from Ampro manual i got online. However, i am guessing that if you are looking at this listing then you already know what this board is and does.
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Little Board/286 provides system designers with a high performance, AT-compatible single
board microcomputer system that requires no more space than a half height 5-1/4" disk drive.
This unique single board system is functionally equivalent to a normal AT motherboard and three
or four expansion cards.
The Little Board/286 is ideally suited for embedded microcomputer applications where IBM
PC/AT software, hardware, and bus compatibility are required and where low power consumption
(under 9 watts), small size (5.75" x 8" x 1.1"), wide temperature range (0-70o
C) and high
reliability are critical. In addition, its ability to use rugged media like EPROM and nonvolatile
RAM instead of disk drives makes the Little Board/286 especially well suited for use in harsh
environments.
Typical applications for the Little Board/286 include:
n Data acquisition & control n Diskless workstations
n Portable instruments n Point-of-sale terminals
n Protocol conversion n Network servers
n Telecommunications n Distributed processing
n Security systems n SCSI device control
n Intelligent terminals n Vending machines
n Medical instruments n Robot and machine control
The Little Board/286 includes a powerful 12 MHz or 16 MHz 80286 microprocessor, up to 4M
bytes of onboard DRAM, and a full complement of AT compatible controllers. Peripheral
controllers are included on the board for standard serial, printer, keyboard, speaker, and floppy
interfacing. In addition, two industry standard system expansion buses -- a PC/AT Expansion Bus
and a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) -- offer system expansion flexibility.
A PC/AT bus expansion connector is provided for Ampro MinModule expansion boards which
attach directly to the Little Board/286. When installed, an onboard MinModule fits entirely within
the Little Board/286's outline dimensions.
Standard PC and AT bus plug-in cards can be added to the Little Board/286 using ribbon cable
from the PC/AT bus expansion connector. The innovative StackPlane expansion option permits a
PC bus card to be mounted parallel to the Little Board/286 without additional hardware. Also
available is a compact 2-slot passive backplane which accommodates two PC or AT bus cards.
Support for SCSI direct access devices as boot or data devices is included directly in the board's
ROM-BIOS. This SCSI/BIOS feature allows a wide variety of hard disks, floppy drives, bubble
memory drives, tape drives, and other SCSI devices to be used interchangeably, greatly enhancing
the ease and flexibility of system integration, maintenance, and upgrades.
