I don’t see it on the Supported Hardware list for Processors, but ZF Micro
Devices claims “The ZFx86 is fully compatible with all standard PC software.
It will run any standard operating system capable of running on a fully
compatible PC with FPU such as Linux, DOS, many RTOS, and Windows CE,
Windows 9x, and Windows NT.” Also, Digital-Logic has a board with the ZFx86
(SM586PC), and they claim QNX can run on it. http://www.presseagentur.com/PR-Infos/digitallogic/en/PR05-01.htm
I’m considering the Tri-M MZ104-EV CPU board for our PC104 stack. http://www.tri-m.com/products/engineering/mz104ev.html
It has all the features we need: >= 100MHz, DiskOnChip, 10/100 Ethernet,
compatible VGA, IDE, Floppy, 2 USB, 2 COM, LPT, Keybd, Mouse, Watchdog
Timer, 3W, 1 board, Op Temp -40 to 85C, and will fit in Can/VersaTainer.
All for under $500.
Any comments from anyone with experience with the ZFx86 and QNX would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure about exactly ZF course i desided not to test it some time ago due
to its high price (~650USD in Ru).
But QNX 4.25, QNX6.2.1 and NetBSD 1.6.1 works very well on Vortex86 boards
which are SOC (System-on-Chip) too. I’v tested all three on ICOP 6070 DP&M
(SiS) Vortex86 SOC 166MHz 128Mb RAM and all works find, including both USB
ports (OHCI) and on-board video. Made in Taiwan.
All for under $320 in Russia i.e. all clearance extra charges have been
paid (adds up to 20…30% of original price) so i guess originally this board
costs about ~200USD…
Nice and stable machine. But 1.2A@5DVC… it is quite hot even while it’s
reglamented to operate at +60C. I bet SOC’s heat sinking radiator is always
+60C. But it works.
