AMD's Journal: EPIC updates stretch stackable systems

"Since its introduction in 1992, PC/104 has been one of the most popular embedded-system architectures, because of its size, rugged construction, and PC compatibility, and due to the huge array of off-the-shelf components available to developers. Often embedded in medical instruments, avionics, vending machines, test equipment, communications devices, vehicular systems, data logging, and industrial-control systems, PC/104 products take advantage of the low-cost silicon, software, and development tools from the desktop world. Like all other long-term board standards, PC/104 has undergone several revisions to keep up with changes in technology. The latest additions, EPIC (Embedded Platform for Industrial Computing) and EPIC Express offer PC/104 designers a more flexible form factor and future access to high-bandwidth serial interconnections."
