  • Page 7: Chapter 2 Product Overview

    The PC/104 architecture affords a great deal of flexibility in system design. You can build a simple system using only a CoreModule 740, an input/output device connected to the serial or parallel ports, and an IDE storage device connected to the IDE port. To expand a simple CoreModule system, simply add self-stacking PC/104 and PC/104-Plus expansion boards to provide additional capabilities, such as: •...
