Where does the CompactPCI specification come from?
The CompactPCI effort was initiated in 1994 by Ziatech Corporation under the auspices of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturer’s group (PICMG). The CompactPCI specification is the result of a concerted effort of the CompactPCI subcommittee composed of the following companies: Digital Equipment, GESPAC, I-Bus, Pro-Log, Teknor, Hybricon, and Ziatech.
