The Macrolink Python is tough! It's a full-featured tactical workstation that meets the most demanding requirements. Rugged enough to function in any environment and easily transportable, it is resistant to weather, shock, and vibration.

The compact Python is a versatile workstation that is easily deployable. It features a 2-slot 6U VME64/VME64x card cage, large LCD and dual peripherals. A 4-slot version features a larger LCD and support for 4 peripherals for more demanding applications. One or two removable high-performance disk drives are supported in capacities up to 147GB.

A selection of Active Matrix, and TFT Liquid Crystal Displays provide superior imagery in up to 1280 x 1024 resolution. Optionally, an advanced anti-reflective coating provides excellent daylight readability.

The Python's open platform design hardware allows virtually any VMEbus CPU -- PowerPC, SPARC, Pentium, Alpha, PA-RISC -- to be installed for immediate compatibility with your existing applications. The industry standard VME card cage enables quick and easy migration to the next generation processors.

The Python gives you high performance for the advanced field support and tactical vision you need -- wherever you are.
