PC/104 embedded computer standard adds PCI-only version

Feb 16, 2004 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — 2 views

Over ten years after its initial inception, the PC/104 Consortium has released a PCI-only version of its popular PC/104 form-factor embedded single-board computer modules specification. “PCI-104” is essentially identical to the PC/104-Plus format which combines the ISA and PCI buses on a PC/104 form-factor module, except that the ISA expansion connector has been omitted in the new PCI-only implementation. By leaving off the ISA bus interface, there is more room on PCI-104 modules for other functions, which is expected to open up new opportunities for expanded market penetration of the PC/104 standards, the Consortium says.
