DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSM800 SEV Manual V1.0A MSM800SEV Incompatibilities to a standard PC/AT 2.8.1 PC104 BUS / ISA BUS An onboard LPC to ISA-bridge makes it possible to expand the functionality of the board with additional PC/104 cards. Because of the transformation from LPC to ISA it is unfortunately not possible to realize a 16Bit access.
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSM800 SEV Manual V1.0A 2.8.2 ISA-Incompatibilitiy with ISA-PCCARD-Controller The experience is, that ATA-Drives controlled in a ISA-PCMCIA Controller are not working. Solution: Using a PCCARD-Controller on the PCI-Bus 2.8.3 ISA-Incompatibilitiy with 16Bit I/O Transfer with FPGA-Decoder The experience is, that 16Bit I/O-transfers decoded with a FPGA are not allways working correct. Each case must be tested.
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSM800 SEV Manual V1.0A 2.11 High frequency Radiation (to meet EN55022) Since the PC/104 CPU modules are very high integrated embedded computers, no peripheral lines are pro- tected against the radiation of high frequency spectrum. To meet a typical EN55022 requirement, all periph- erals, they are going outside of the computer case, must be filtered externaly.
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSM800 SEV Manual V1.0A 3 PC/104 B IGNALS Please note, that may not all of the signals are available on this board (check chapter 6 “Description of the connectors”) AEN, output Address Enable is used to degate the microprocessor and other devices from the I/O channel to allow DMA transfers to take place.

DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSM800 SEV Manual V1.0A IRQ[ 10 12, 14, 15], input These signals are used to tell the microprocessor that an I/O device needs attention. An interrupt request is generated when an IRQ line is raised from low to high. The line must be held high until the microprocessor acknowledges the interrupt request.

DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSM800 SEV Manual V1.0A SD[O..15], input/output These signals provide bus bits 0 through 15 for the microprocessor, memory, and I/0 devices. DO is the least-significant Bit and D15 is the most significant Bit. All 8-Bit devices on the I/O channel should use DO through D7 for communications to the microprocessor.
