Jason -  FYI: the Axis 2940 has been replaced with this product:

And if you need it in an SBC you can incorporate into another case:

But NewEgg lists it as available...

I've seen NewEgg advertise the older product but supply the newer
product, so it might be worth a call to see if they have the 83+. The 83
+ unit adds a USB port.

Please note Axis uses Linux as their core O/S...
