Press Release Body: Port Coquitlam, BC - November 20, 2007 - Today Tri-M Engineering
announced a new embedded CPU module designed to complement their existing PC/104
product line. The VSX104 is fanless design featuring a complement of robust
features such as extended temperature operation and soldered DDR2 RAM integrated in
a small, low power package. The VSX104 is RoHS compliant and conforms to the PC/104
form factor which allows users to easily add a wide-range of low-cost I/O options.

The VSX104's 300MHz DM&P Vortex86SX System-on-Chip (SoC) is a high performance and
fully static 32-bit X86 processor designed to work with embedded operating systems
including Windows®CE, Linux, DOS, and most popuar 32-bit RTOS. Standard features of
the VSX104 include 128MB soldered on DDR2 RAM, four COM ports, two USB2.0 ports and
one 10/100 Ethernet port. It also includes both a Type I CompactFlashT socket as
well as a microSD socket. System expansion is supported by the PC/104 interface.
"The VSX104 fills a void in the marketplace created after a number of embedded
processors were recently discontinued." says Tri-M President and CEO, Doug Stead.
"The VSX104 allows OEM design engineers the opportunity to continue legacy projects
or pursue new opportunities wherever a compact, rugged processor is required."

The VSX104 is a compact design measuring 3.55" x 3.775" x 0.9" and has an operating
temperature of -40º to +85ºC. Single +5VDC power is supplied through the PC/104 bus
or 2-position screw terminal and total power consumption is a mere 1.85 Watts. The
VSX104 is scheduled to begin shipping in January 2008. Pricing is in the $200's in
low OEM quantities. For additional information contact Tri-M Engineering at
