Dear Customer:
We are notifying you that SBC-596/599 has some compatibility
issues with some Seagate hard disk drives.
Owing to some limitations with the Seagate controller’s specifica-
tions, we found the Intel 430TX chipset cannot work with some
Seagate hard disk drives. Seagate promises to solve this issue in
the new controller. Please check with Seagate for further informa-
tion. We recommend users who plan to use the following Seagate
hard disk drives models with the SBC-596/599 check with Seagate
regarding the availability of a new controller:

Introduction
The SBC-596/599 is a full-size CPU card. This card uses a
Pentium processor based CPU and accommodates up to 256
MB DRAM. It also provides a secondary level 512 KB cache, 2
USB(Universal Serial Bus) ports and 63-level watchdog timer with
jumperless setup.
The SBC-596/599 offers power management features to
minimize power consumption. It complies with the “Green
Function” standard and supports three power saving features:
doze, sleep, and suspended mode.
The SBC-599 provides a PCI Ultra Wide SCSI controller with
max data transfer rate at 40 MB/sec. In addition, the SBC-599 is
equipped with a ISA high drive at 64 mA, a C&T 65550 chipset
and a 10Base-T networking controller, which makes the SBC-
599 a highly reliable CPU card perfect for IPC applications or
computer telephony integration application.
