1.5.1. Kontron's Mezzanine Concept
This is Kontron's concept to expand the I/O capability of the board. It is built around two
connectors:
•
Mezzanine connector handling IDE and floppy disk drive signals.
•
Mezzanine connector handling a complete PCI signal set (primary bus)
including the REQ/GNT arbitration signal pair.
These two connectors represent an open door for future development of expansion and I/O
mezzanine cards.
A Mezzanine Card referred to as cMC and cMCB are available from Kontron.
