PC Engine Wrap board replacement
I started to experiment with the Wrap board about a year ago and found it to be excellent embedded system. To my surprise I found out a few months ago that the end of the lifecycle of these boards was fast approaching. In the last few months I have been searching for an alternative. Well I finally found it. It is called alix3a. It looks like a wrap board, it smells like a wrap board. It has better performance than a wrap board. Then it must be a wrap board! Well sure it is. From the original makers of PC Engine Wrap Board comes the Alix3a. Check out the specs 1 LAN / 2 miniPCI

We are glad to see they fianlly upgraded the CPU. The past 233/266 was just to slow for some applications no matter how lean and mean the OS was.
We are please to have a replacement coming. Did they meantion costs per unit versus the WRAP's boards still on the market?

The cost of the wrap board can't be disclosed at this time as the prototype hasn't been built. I understand that they should have something ready by later summer or early fall
