14. Floppy-Drive Interface The floppy-drive interface of the PC/104-520 uses a 2.88 MB super I/O floppy-disk controller and can sup- port one floppy disk drive with densities that range from 360 kB to 2.88 MB. The controller is 100% IBM compatible.
In some applications, the PC/104-520 is intended for use as a stand-alone module without a backplane. You need to have a power connector available on the board for direct power supply. The PC/104-520 is a +5V only board. Peripherals can obtain additional voltage from the power connector next to the PC/104 bus. The additional voltages (+12V, -5V and -12V) are not generated onboard the PC/104-520.
Note: The PC/104-520 is not a replacement for a backplane. Use all power pins on the power connector and on the PC/104 connectors for power supply to the PC/104-520, and also use all additional power connectors on addi- tional I/O cards if your system exceeds the above limitations.
Watchdog Timer 16. Watchdog Timer The watchdog timer (WDT) is integrated in the Winbond W83977F controller of the PC/104-520 and can issue a reset to the system. The watchdog timer circuit has to be triggered within a specified time by the application software.

Appendix A: System Resourcen A.1 Interrupt Request Lines Please note that Kontron PC/104 devices were designed after the draft of P996 Specification for ISA systems. Because of this, shareable interrupts are not supported. Some PC/104 add-on board manu- facturers do not follow the P996 Specification and allow shareable interrupts. If you want to use such PC/104 boards with Kontron devices, contact the manufacturer of the add-on board and ask about switching to non-interrupt sharing.
