The network computer lacks a disk drive, but includes local permanent storage such as a compact flash card. Preferably, the network computer includes one or more peripheral devices connected to a peripheral bus of the computer. In the preferred embodiment, the network interface provides is an Ethernet compliant connection with an RJ45 connector. In one embodiment, the power supply powers the motherboard via a single power plane. In one embodiment, the network computer includes disk drive facilities for receiving a disk drive. The invention further contemplates a method of testing a network computer including connecting a disk based storage device to a network computer that lacks a disk based storage device but includes local permanent storage, such as a compact flash card. A disk based operating system is then loaded on the network computer via the disk based storage device. A test suite supported by the disk based operating system is then loaded and executed on the network computer to verify its functionality. In one embodiment, the method further includes similarly installing the disk based storage device in each of a plurality of network computers, whereby a single disk based storage device is used to verify each a plurality of network computers.

    Abstract: A network computer (12) receives instructions from a network manager (11), including a control interrupt instruction, a system management instruction, and a release instruction. A processor (16) associated with the network computer (12) executes the control interrupt instruction first to produce a control interrupt signal. This control interrupt signal causes an operating status controller (17) associated with the network computer (12) to disable local operational status control at the network computer. After local operational status control is disabled at the network computer (12), the processor (16) executes the system management instruction and performs a system management operation at the network computer. Finally, after the system management operation is completed, the processor (16) executes the release instruction to produce a release signal. The release signal causes the operational status controller (17) to enable local operational status control at the network computer (12).

    Abstract: A system reset arrangement (12) resides alternately in an enabled condition or a disabled condition. When the system reset arrangement (12) is in the disabled condition, a switching input provided through a switch (11) does not effect a system reset. However, in the enabled condition, the switching input through the switch (11) causes system reset arrangement (12) to produce a reset output which resets the system. A reset disable arrangement (14) maintains the system reset arrangement (12) in the disabled condition in response to a disable input. When the disable input is removed, reset disable arrangement (14) maintains system reset arrangement (12) in the enabled condition. An interrupt output (15) develops an interrupt signal in response to the switching input. This interrupt signal prompts an interrupt controller (16) to issue a desired system management command to be processed by the system processor. This command may place the system in a standby mode and, in any event, removes the disable input, causing the reset disable arrangement (14) to maintain the system reset arrangement (12) in an enabled condition. Thus, activating the switch (11) while the computer is in a normal operational state causes the computer to go into a standby state; and, activating the switch (11) while the computer is in the standby state causes the computer to reset back to the normal operational state.

    Abstract: A system and method makes use of the line-in, line-out connectors for each right and left stereo channel of an audio card to provide a communications network. The distributed computers are connected in a master/slave configuration. All of the slave systems have the line-in ports, and the line-out ports, connected together. The master system line-out is connected to each slave system line-in port, and the slave system line-out ports are connected to the master line-in port, for each channel. A communications protocol is provided wherein the master system allows audio and data information to be simultaneously transferred between the master and slave systems. The master provides a clock signal and performs arbitration in order to facilitate the information transfer.
