Associates of Terra Soft,

We are pleased to offer advanced briQs with up to 800MHz IBM 750FX CPUs in 
addition to the existing 500MHz Motorola 7400-based product. The 750FX's low 
power consumption, less than 4 watts at 800MHz, dramatically reduces the 
briQ's power requirements.

The briQ is a small footprint, single board PowerPC Linux network appliance 
computer designed to be used alone or within a cluster. The size of an 
internal CD drive chassis, the briQ provides an advanced, energy efficient 
and affordable networking solution for firewalls, routers, web servers and 
other demanding industrial control and communication applications.

The briQ's unique specifications and features include:
	PowerPC 750FX operating at up to 800MHz
	100MHz 64-bit System Bus
	64-bit 66MHz PCI Bus
	Up to 1 Gigabyte of SDRAM
	10/100 eth on-board, 2nd eth avail
	RS-232 interface
	Programmable VFD display
	Up to 60 Gigabyte internal drive
	(may be connected to external IDE drive(s))
	Low power consumption

Each briQ ships with Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 pre-installed.

Single unit pricing starts at $1,245. Options include CPU speed, memory, dual 
network interface and disk drive size. CPU upgrades are available for 
existing briQ owners.
