What alternative is there to stacking PC/104 cards?
While PC/104 modules are typically stacked on top of each other, they can also be placed on off-the-shelf or custom baseboards. Such boards may include multiple PC/104 headers to enable PC/104 cards to be stacked on adjacent PC/104 buses rather than on top of each other. For height restrictive applications, this mounting method is especially useful. Four PC/104 boards mounted on a “quad motherboard” with four PC/104 headers measures less than 1.30″ in height, as compared to 2.8″ for four vertically stacked PC/104 modules.
