PC/104 is an ISA interface that supports compact-form-factor PC/104
modules (3.6” x 3.8”). It supports self-stacking and pin-and-socket
connector. PC/104 features a standard form factor for Embedded
applications. It is reliable, small in size and has low power consumption.
Flexible mechanical configurations can be attained with PC/104.
Modules support various functions such as display, audio, GPS,
PCMCIA, fax/modem, Ethernet, SCSI, RS-232/422/485, digital I/O and
SSD.
The Compact Flash connector on board is for CompactFlash Type I
memory cards. A Compact Flash memory card is a solid state disk card
with a 50pin connector. The pins provide a connection between the
memory and the Compact Flash drive. Compact Flash cards are designed
with flash technology, a non-volatile storage solution that does not lose
its information once power is removed from the card. The cards contain
no moving parts and are extremely rugged, providing much greater
protection of data than conventional magnetic disk drives.
